Wow! That was some serious swell. I didn't have that much swell at shipwreck. Definitely didn't get even half that much wind.
Thanks to the mommas for letting us play.

WOW, what a day out there. Nice tribute to all the mothers out there.

What sized kite were you on out there? 5m?

I was on a 6m.

Kite sizes ranged from 4.5 - 6m while I was there.

I missed the big stuff, I launched some time between 2:30 and 3:00.

I heard a couple of local boys were boosting huge air in the 55 mph gusts on 7Ms just before I got there.

on the water at 0930 today - left at 1600...

besides the kiting it was nice to get more names (and actually remember them) of the people I've been seeing there for years.

Thanks all

Dan
