Did they find the lost swimmer last night. I don't know if I want to go out there tonight if they haven't - though I'm sure the body would be long gone by now. - C
P.S. - pretty solid sauvies night  |

I got out there just as it died... 10 kites in the air, by the time I got rigged up, 0 kites in the air. This 9-5 BS has gotta stop! |

Awesome session - fun to watch Kraemer Dog get wiped out by the Coast Guard prop wash - drowned kids always disturbing - they apparently recovered the body less than 50 yrds off the beach. Very sad. _________________ Go Deep!

I kited for about 20min and had to swim my kite in. It really shut down quick at around 7pm I think. |
