Looks like it is firing up and the weather patterns look like the typical Jones evening thermals.

Anyone else planning on heading out there? I will probably go there after work.

9-14 but looking like it may not roar and possibly fizzle out. !!!!

Hope today is a repeat for you! Stevie was great this morning... another HV downwinder with a lengthy tasty solo sesh at the point! Civilians only on shore, so had to self-land at the sandspit, but it was no problem.

Today Kalama put out way better than yesterday. It's been a long time since I've ridden in steady wind... all winter/spring so far has been good, but gusty.

How did you get to/back HV? Hitch hike?

No, I went with Dangler... he quit before I did, and hitched a ride back to his van at HV. My car was at Stevie. Conditions were almost identical to when you and I went last time. Super sunny & warm too!

Pretty sure no cock rock today - gradients are westerly.

I think Jones is a good bet for this afternoon. Manzanita might be good later today also.

Pretty much windy everywhere except Rooster. Manzo, Jones, Stevenson, HR, Rowena all have wind right now - and it isn't even 1 PM yet. Go get some! I will continue to sit here at work Sad

wednsday I had hopes for easterlies but woke up today and saw the gradients directions and glad I was not going to cock rock. Jones put out hard today and rode me solid with the 9 meters of great wind. Spent an awesome day at Jones in summer conditions. So much better!!! Man it was cranking since 1:30

Was the perfect day to be off work, at last I finally had a break from the slave labor and scored a day classic Jones stlye.
