I was going it hit it early but the wind shifted offshore and is still there. I have a presentation to make in Ft. Lauderdale late in the afternoon. After that, I hope to hit it and checkout this new Waroo Pro in powered conditions.

Hope you caught it down south this evening :wink:

Boynton switched NW and shut me down on my 10M, anywhere out 200 yards from the beach was good . But get any closer then that and the land would rob the wind. I was able to ride for 15 minutes- Tops

Nothing like having a 10M start to drop from lack of wind, fold in 1/2, drift into the power zone ~ then correct itself while powering back up :shock:

YeeeHaaaa ~ Side Offshore winds........ Gotta love'm :P

Ditto down in Ft. Lauderdale. After starting a presentation late over in Pt. Everglades, they SHUT DOWN I-595 (Pres. Bush in town?) and hassling through boat show traffic and parking, I was able to hit the beach. JUST in time for an offshore shift. I went out anyway for a while, about 15 min. too, was able to make it in despite failing winds and called it a day. N to NNW down here means threading through a bunch of mountainous condos. Yuck! Well there is always next time ...
