Sunday at Wintler park.

Yee Haw! Rodeo kiting at it's finest. Wind was roughly 20 - 25 with lulls to 15 and gusts to near 40. Shocked

Wind was Southerly to Westerly... Very occasional lulls to 5.

Got there at 2:00 just after a band of rain had passed, so it was sunny and nice out. On the water from about 2:30 to 3:30. That was all I could handle!

The beach is plenty big and wind shadowed enough to protect from the big gusts, yet still open enough to launch.

Not much of a photo, sorry about the poor quality. It does give you an idea of the launch anyway.

Looks like pretty decent weather considering what its doing now downtown. No kidding on the gusts, its been crazy all day.

Yeah, it was a bit crazy. Very Happy

I kept an eye out for approaching storms though. It was pretty clear while I was riding, I could see a storm coming when I left though. The picture is post session; most of the session the sky was a lot more clear. Mostly sun & blue sky. It was wild enough without the gusts from a CB adding to the fun!
