Forecast looks pretty good tomorrow(sunday), wonderin if there's any novice takers on a short downwinder along the sunset beach strip. Im still a little new myself and far from confident enough to go too far but am getting a little tired of always riding by myself. Anyone game? Embarassed

I was just up there yesterday with the buggy and board... was about 10-13 steady. There should be more buggies out today. Some some guy I didn't recognize buggied for a bit then took off down wind on the water.

I'll probably stay in Manzo for father's day today. Clouds are flying from the north and trees and blowing around my house but the blahsurf sensor says a2.5 wsw... that can't be right unless we're getting some weird swirl from on the hill, but I haven't been to the beach yet. I'll probably take zip down there in a few minutes to check it out. Was sunny this morning, then a few minutes of drizzle but it looks clear again down here thanks to the mountain Smile

LOL!! Yea that guy was me. Damn Jim jinxed the better solid wind I think, cuz it was blowin pretty good until he showed up and I coincidentally suited up. All well, any kite time is better than none. Shouldve just stayed on the buggy I guess. Rolling Eyes

This was before Jim got there. Were you flying a 9m gold waroo then a blue waroo of undisclosed size? white SUV?

I took off on the blue waroo just as Jim showed up. And buggied on the Gold best before that. But was in silver quad cab dodge. Just barely upwind from the rest of the crew.
