Looking good today for wind

Looks like its gonna happen (in my amateur forecasting opinion)
I would hit Cypress, Picnic and "Raul's house" (that's where I am gonna go), followed by backside and then the beach (in terms of odds).
I think the more inland spots are the best bet, but the beach might happen.

We have low wator vapor levels (don't know why, but that is ALWAYS good, I have noticed), it started NNE at skyway AND tide is NUKING out later with low chances of rain (that's the low water vapor)

I don't know why these things spell wind, but I have noticed over the last 20 years, when these factors are all in place..... it's time to ride

Give it a couple hours (or less) :P

Oh, in addition, Josh Linker is saying only 6 to 12.... so we're good to go

Well, this is odd.

I just switched on to the PaG sensor... the beach apparently JUST switched to 13 to 20 (which means around 14 NW) The time is here (quite early) I am gonna drive to the beach, I guess, then hit Raul's later.
I might get away with parking at the Undertow, since it is early.
Someone meet me at the 'tow for goodness sake, unless you just love missing wind :shock:

Beach was GREAT. Solid 15+ at Blue Flag beach. Probably the nicest day of beach riding I have had in a year. I was only guy out there :?: (At least til 2pm)

Edit ant 7pm: --

Went to backside SW later and it was good too. Donna had a great time, looked like everyone was doing well. Victoria is going upwind better, Lori got her Super Phatty today and seemed to love it. I got to ride the 15m Ion again, that's a nice kite.

Great day of wind :P

Did anyone ride at Cypress or Picnic today? I am curious what the wind did over there.

I was at Cypress and I was lit on my 15 ION. It was blowing solid 15mph for 2 hours and then Gary showed up and the wind died.

Cypress is turning into Ghetto Beach. :shock: Watch your stuff when you go out there.

Glad to hear you guys had great wind.
Yikes, is it really that bad out there?
(I guess we know it is cuz Bruce's board was stolen)
Well, backside is apparently becoming the new hangout, and in some ways that's good. Enuff eyes out there near where stuff is that I feel stealing would be hard to do.

Thanks for info Chris

In what way do you mean "hangout" Scott??? :shock: :P :lol:

great day at backside..

can someone who saw the accident please post a full detail story on the guy that got hurt today??

From what I heard he got pulled through the boat hazzard and got cut pretty bad.

Also.. big thanks to Scott and Steve for their quick heads up and assisting to keep the beach safer by keeping the new rider's kite out of the air.

Backside is NOT a place to learn to kite.. no way.. no how.. nope .. nada.. nay.
