Currently playing it by ear and watching the sensors every once in a while.

Cypress sounds BAD according to reports.
Prolly the beach (if it happens) Maybe backside, altho were you there early yesterday? and how bad was the space availability for rigging (due to partiers/cookouts)

I was the second kiter there. Victoria went first and text messaged me that there were too many rednecks for her to bother but there was good wind and plenty of water. I went and just kind of made an area for us once my 25.5 inflated and pretty much commands space. People will make room even if you have to pump up on the grassy area and walk your kite around the corner on the beach and lay your lines there. In my opinion, where there's a will, there's a way especially where wind chasing is concerned. I also highly doubt that there will be as many people there as there was yesterday seeing as most have to work tomorrow AM and would have planned their partying for a day that lets them sleep off their hangovers in the morning...Just my opinion, if it blows I am Skyway bound, I don't think I will improve as quickly or as much if I go riding in the gulf *yet*.

It blew NE all morning today at the Skyway. Good sign for a potential good seabreeze today. If it blows, I wil be looking toward Backside or Lido, depends on my mood and direction.

It JUST switched to N at the SW.
I am driving to the beach. Should kick within the hour at the beach, and within 2 at backside

Anticipating a future spike at PaG. Any takers on a wager?

Just got back. It was literally epic. Solid 15+ (for 3 hours) and steady.
Did anyone ride anyone else ride and where? (That sentence sucks, I sleep need) How was it?

I rode the 14m Turbo Diesel and the Super Phatty (can you say heaven?) and Donna rode the 10m TD. It was even better than yesterday was, unreal :P

The more I ride the TD, the more I like it. Very stable kite, good range, unreal jumps.. etc. I feel very comfy on it now.

The more I ride the Super Phatty, the more I think its the best board ever made (IMO for Florida conditions, anyway).
I've been searching for a board this good (and a one board quiver) since I started kiting.
I finally found it :wink:
