Tree limbs were flying around the parking lot - nearly got blown off the sidewalk on the overpass - some fun at the Rooster Ponds with Monkeyboy (thanks for the pics), Kevin, Bryan, and Jake

I have found 2 uses for my skim now...super-underpowered light-wind weapon, and super-nuked-out-lit-to-the-moon-edge master!!!
Yeah its kinda tough with all the chop, but once you loosen your knees and just go with it....they all become obsticles and ramps!! Plus, it's way easier to keep the board glued to the feet. And, when I'm super lit...I just shift my weight to one side to really edge the board, which kinda makes it work like a huge skag-fin..It's when you are flat on your board when you get in trouble...you would've killed it too..
Thanks for the pics GMAN! sick air!!

Ummmm to the guy with the Fuel and Yellow lifejacket, Probably not the best day to be practicing bodydragging with winds gusting into the low 50's. Ps I think you owe the Yellow kite guy that you tangled lines with a beer or several!
Oh yeah, awesome 150' beach drag!

That sounds interesting. I drove by BV around 3:30 and saw a black kite out that looked way to big just bouncing off the water. I was hoping nothing bad was going to happen.

Great pics! Too bad you didn't get any of the 150' beach drag.

That was probably me just sitting down putting my bindings on Jim...was on the 6.5m and lasted about 20 min. Just no fun with the huge gusts and lulls.

Haha, a 6.5m looking wayyyy too big? Musta been some serious nukage. Camas and Viento were probably money though.
