Trainer kites or real kites? Wink

Looks like you've got a little help from the tide though.

Perfect 10kts (nice boost from the current to make it work), butter and 85 degrees
was fun on the skim - got to work on the pop 3s

Early crew Flydunes got the goods - but the butter water was sick

It was capping and perfect direction when Kelt and I got there at 4:30. Good till about 6pm. I had to depower my 13M and Kelt was lit on an 11M. After that it was just "rideable" till about 7pm

Ya, my friend Rudy told me it had just started to blow when we got there. Sounds like our timing was perfect.

My house number is 420. My dad's b-day is 4/20, and we did celebrate the day in style. It must have been a harmonic convergence.

I think so. Temp and pressure gradients are tracking nicely. I'm betting on 11M conditions. Besides, its a damn nice day.
