GREAT Rides or What???
 

The state has been getting basted in strong winds. Are folks grabbing some quality wind time on the water?

Yesterday was very nice off here with more on tap today. How about where you are?

Repeating, how about that wind???

The last few days have been pretty good with most riders on 7-9m kites. Small knee to thigh high waves on the outside of the WH flats made for a great session. A 30 ft. sailboat was blown on to the flats so there was abit more to see than usual.

It's amazing how many people have a wind clauses at there job. Or maybe just alot of sick people at the beach.

Awesome 11M session Saturday, Monday and Wednesday in North Miami Beach.
Rough sea but definitely worth a sick day ;)

Rough?! That's the best part as long as it isn't just chop. It was not that big up here yesterday perhaps 3 to 5 ft.. Should be larger this afternoon. Bring on the swells and wind. My sympathies go out to kiters with only flat water to play on. Do they have seagoing roosters in life jackets to crow to wake folks up in the calm stuff?

I've riden 3 of the last 4 days! :p

Of course, now my back is freakin' wrecked... so I gotta rest for a day. :(

April is usually MUCH WINDIER than May! I hope so!

Stuck in Calgary during the wind days!!!! Getting extremely annoyed by my bi-hourly emails on my blackberry with Miami wind reports!

Ready to throw that thing out the door!!!

started getting blown off my 8M yesterday up in the panhandle. nice surf, big wind. boyfriend ended taking the 8M and rode quite juiced on it. glad you others got some too!!

You might run off to Lake Louise or something from Calgary? Never been there but the Shinning made it look incredible. Great alpine terrain.

Yow, 8 m, you folks have stronger stuff in the Panhandle! At the office today the wind station was saying 26 to 32 kts. and I thought I might get to use my 7 m for the third time. Got to the beach and measure less than half of that so went with the 13 m.

Still, it was a great wave session, with the swells forming several hundred feet offshore, nice for ramping off of. It was so nice and the near full moon more than bright enough just came in a short time ago. March last year had times like this.

Who got a good session in today?

yeah....seems this time of year everyone is having great kite days...the last 3days have been very nice...8m, warm....I love spring...and I love you...

I guess mother nature know when I am not in Florida. It has been windy this last month in my kiting spot (Fort Pierce area). I know as soon I can make it back to FL, it will just stop blowing.

Be sure to make it back before mid May and you should be OK, I hope!

More than a few folks must have made it out over the last few days, how was it?

The wind is clocking offshore here today otherwise would keep going. There is always tomorrow though when it is supposed to return to side onshore.

It continues, amazing, even tonight! The wind was side off and was to shift sideshore around midnight. Come quiting time it was already close to side shore so I headed down and sure enough it was already bent parallel to shore at the coast. Blowing strong too. Did some wind checks and figured the 13 m would cover it. Rigged it as small as I could by trimming. It was manageable but had me asking myself why bother, smarter to rig smaller? Went in and rigged a bit too small with a 7 m. I could lock it in at times particularly offshore. It is amazing how differently a 7 m flies compared to a 13 m! A really fine ground swell was setting up about 250 ft. off the beach in otherwise fairly calm water. More wind in the forecast tomorrow. Who got some water time today?
