Road all afternoon today at north end of Honeymoon. Had to pull the depower strap acouple of times (truth). Worked on kite loop transitions from both sides from 1:00 till 5:45 got them dialed in pretty good on starboard tack still a little work on port. You just don't know unless you go.

i HAVEN'T SEEN any diminuation or real drastic changes in all the forecasts which are computer generated

which is a good thing

variability means that its just noise, 10-15 kts is good enough for my surf and 17m

Hey Tom, I've got a new 6 foot tri surf youv'e got to see , its awesome in big waves I've tried so far





need waves and wind!

Are the outside fins toe'd in? Thrusters are slow with toe.

Yeah, thats the whole idea. slow down with tri's for big winds and big waves.

Speed up with quads for racing and lower winds / slashy/ flatter water.

At least that is what the shaper was explaining to me. art coyler from www.northpacificsurfboards.com

he's been making surfboards , windsurf boards in san diego / oregon since the mid '80s

got into making kitesurf boards 6 years ago as well. I guess electrical engineers can do art as well!
