Default monday??

had to sit this one out today, a little too intense for my 11m , but it looks like tommorow am should be good. Cold, but maybe a mid-morning sesh after things warm up a bit?? I was thinkin EB but haven't checked the tide yet. Anybody else goin?? By the way, watching Billy loft himself onto and across redington pier is pretty cool, you should check it out sometime

You made a good call not putting that 11m up today.
That takes some discipline, but was very smart.
I heard some stories of a 220 pound guy having to put down his 11m kite and another 195 guy overpowered on his 9m.

I was on a 7m totally litt. It was definitely gusting to 30 (bare minimum) probably 35.

I think it will be too far North for EB tomorrow.
It should be good 'til 11am or so from the N or NNE.

"if in doubt, don't go out, right?" oh, wait a minute, did REAL copyright that too?? i guess i'd better get a lawyer. forecasts show different things, of course, but it looks like maybe N in the am and NE in the afternoon. have to wait and see

Awesome. You must have been litt.
What kite model, if you don't mind me asking.

I was LITT on a 7 today and I weigh 165. Donna was on her 7m Ozone. Perfect for her.

Did you railey to the friggin' moon?

Chad man we missed you today on the downwinder! At least you got a sick session yesterday.

At one point I did look back and see billy above the redington pier...crazy

and one more thing, I don't think you can actually spell reals name in all caps like they do without being sued, so be REAL careful.

Was on a 9 meter pretty well lit head high swells, friggin awesome!

Default Overpowered

I was on a 13 and was skipping like a stone a few times and I weigh 230. Managed to ride out the gusts and stay upwind, but definetly need to expand my quiver. Please don't sue me if I've used any words owned by corporate America. You won't get much.
