probably warmer than the OC.
5/3, booties, gloves and a hoodie. you're good to go.
air temp been anywhere from mid 40's and up.
water temp, okay a little bit on the colder side!

Stringy this is a no dangle forum, your pics don't count here!

No your right thou not much action on the river until today, but we ride the mtn when it's not blowing, hello! We finally got some westies back today, for some 11m-13m late push. Tomorrow looks good out east late in the day. IMO, today is the first decent day of riding. Water has warmed up, to where you don't need gloves and the air temp is mild. Just don't tease us "hood rats" when we haven't been getting any wind, we are little sentitive on the no wind subject. It sure is nice getting off of work and driving 1 minutes to the ES to get out. FYI, the sand bar hasn't change much so the off shore slick is better than ever. Even Joe, is out there waxing that butter!

Damn, makes me feel like a little bitch.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow!
Little bro and I have been "practicing" since we found a friend to let us set up a tramp in their yard.
Now I need to hit the water!





ps
What telephoto are you using stringy? Looks good Cool
Despite the dangle, I really like the third photo.

sorry for ther dangle shots brad!
look at you a "hood rat" now.
don't forget us when you're all famous!

got the biggie. keeps me out of the water during the cold temps.
I like shooting from water but bobbing in the water this time of the year is a very limited activity.

These are all PSkiter, hence stringy rubbing it in? The middle shot are of Steve Sibborn who is "the best over 40yr old kiteboarder in the nw". Sound like a bold statement but if you ever get to see him ride, you'll see why. Most definitely one of the most progressive riders at his young age. I better stop talking about age, he love schooling the younger guys!
