Fun day at EB. Probably 40 kites.

Here are my guesses to the wind. I don't wear a watch, so the time is more of a guess than the wind speeds.
Okay, get there at 11 or so -- ain't blowing shit. I ride with Australia Bill to backside of SW and back for fun. It was blowing 9 to 10 knots (max).
It stays kinda lame for awhile. When it first starts to fill in, it's all over the place - 11 to 17 knots for about 30 minutes (that was probably just shy of noon). Then it settles down to solid 13 to 16 for about 1.5 hours.
Then it hits (pretty quickly) solid 16 to 18/19 for about 1.5 hours.
Then it settles back down to 15-17 for 1.5 hours.
Then it starts to peter out around 4:30 and definitely took a crap by around 5:30.

I think our wind peaked at 1:30/2:00.

I bet you guys had stronger winds up near Honeymoon/Dunedin.
Let us know.
