JP,
I didn't realize that you are just being an ass so that people remember you. Those guys in the white coats need to keep a better eye on their patients, so you don't get away so easily next time.

I did add value. I explained how to organize a downwinder so that you won't have to stand around freezing anymore.
You're Welcome.

Back to the subject that matters.
Who is picking the day and time for a Desert Downwinder from Roosevelt (or Arlington?).

Pepi,
I'll keep you in the loop. I'll be in the shipwreck area this weekend. Come by, let's ride!

Think about it, roosie to crow is long enough to switch off if there are kiteres who don't wnat to go all the way or need a rest.
Personally, I'd like to see you both in the boat & on the water especially once we get to the bonus zone! Shit mon, you can alway park the boat on the inside of lorek is. and hit the bonus zone... There are many options! 
You doing shipwreck this weekend?

Hmmm, had not thought about throwing the 8m/kitewave/17m lines in the boat... EASY self launch at Lorek! Yeah, it would be hard to just watch as you guys racked up the bonus points...
Like this twist, like it a lot!

Also see the kiddies out at Manzi on Sunday for sure... Not sure what Saturday holds as I am heading over tonight for the ION kickoff. Hmmm no wind photography in blazing heat, or coastal rippage...
Guess my team members and I will have a "meeting" to discuss options...

this is what i'm waiting for. this body of water makes the gorge look like a florida water park.
40 miles pt to pt. breaking waves at the beginning and end. winds hit 40+ frequently for the whole length of the straits.
how long's the fetch for the swells to form? oh yeah, 90 miles. add to that the ocean swell that enters...

Uhh I think Robin and Jose did the a "crossing", used to be an organized windsurfing race from Victoria to PA. The event ran for a few years.
I'm all for Gabe's downwinder, but I'll just meet up with him at the final downwind leg, West Beach, since it's an hour from my house
I want to go toe side on this shit with my 7m...
