I just got back from doing multiple mini-downwinders from Upham/PaG.
It was pretty good for several hours, then.... a friggin sandstorm (literally) was coming down the beach, so I landed my kite, pronto.

About 2 minutes later the temps dropped at least 15 degrees and it was blowing 25 plus. Pretty funny watching 100 plus people haul as.s off the beach all at once.

Hope the forecast holds for tomorrow.

Looking like a classic SW forecast. Everyone be safe tomorrow and have fun.

Putting up the new Switchblade 4. Will give a full report as a bunch of us will be passing it around all day (hopefully).
