Default Blowin?

Dudes! Has it really been blowing 20 at the SW all morning or is the sensor stuck. Nothing here at Gandy, but I'm outta here just incase.

I think the lack of responses is a pretty good indication that it's blowin.

Yep!

It blew solid (up to 20 plus) until about 12:30.
Then went up and down from the low to the high teens most of the afternoon.
Until finally, it went back up again to high teens from about 5pm on.

It was "Crazy John" and myself (only) until about 11 am.
Then Gabe showed up. I thought when he showed it was gonna die (just b/c it usually does slow down by 11am), but nope, it went semi-nuclear 'til 12:30, and both of us were on big(ger) kites actually hoping it would slow a bit.
It was a great day. Not forecast to blow, which is usually a good sign.

Thanks for all the demos and loaned out gear today. Lots of guys got to ride a lot of stuff out there today.

It was good at LP. Rode solo from 2:30pm until maybe 5, when another kiter showed up. Only two of out there and it was ripping.

East Beach was fantastic all day, I hit the water at 9:00, left at 6:30.
Windy ALL day, never less than 15 knots.
Isn't the Skyway where the men hide in the mangroves?
Why would you ride there?

I don't know why anyone ever rides skyway. It is dangerous and gay,.. not that there is anyting wrong with that. Hey isn't Roy going to be in town this weekend? Anyway, East beach is much better I recommened it highly.

I guess you would only ride there to check out the men in the mangroves?

I dunno, maybe E bone can answer that...

I wouldn't recommend the SW either. Not a good place.
It looks like the wind just took a crap and it is raining

So is this why this Roy guy is riding there? Is he dangerously gay or something and this is his favorite spot? Was that Roy's truck with a sign that offered mobile "Manscaping" services(personal grooming)? Is that flying penis symbol on their kites a signal for some manlove? I don't get it...
What a bunch of WEIRDOS...
