Default Tue DP.

I'll be at EB early tomorrow and will be staying as long as the wind holds. Heck I'll be there no matter what, first decent forecast in a while, I took the day off.

Cool! I hope you guys rip it up tonight. I figure EB is the place for me to screw around with my new 12M roo and glide. Once I get it wired I'll be catching the SW DP regularly

Did you want me to bring you two symetrical straps Danny?

However I won't be at EB , If you want them you gotta pick 'em up at SW

got in an hour or so at SW.. winds were shakey at best.
had a few nice gusts..

rode 16waroo w/ ply board.. was able to maintain upwind fine.. just powered enough to ride.

was hoping for a bit more..


oh well.

It wasn’t much wind, but I am stoked! I love my new 12 waroo. I’m very happy to report that I don’t totally stink anymore!! Even in the marginal wind I was going upwind most of the time and made clean transitions from tack to tack most of the time! For the first time I can truly call myself a kiteboarder! Not a good one but a competent safe one. I am no longer a danger to myself or others…well not much anyways. I can’t wait for a few more decent sessions and I’ll try to throw my first little jump or two. No more being the hapless drifting Bobber… ride on kiteboarder!

Bob
