Default Round trip session- Palm Beach County

Launched @ Hammock park in Boynton and worked my way up-wind to the Inlet. The ocean was alive with fish, I saw bluefish chasing bait down wave faces and mackerel skying everywhere. I can only image what the kiters that were in XRated Xtreme Downwinder-Jupiter to Ft Lauderdale saw :shock:
Kited the south side of the inlet for a while w/chest to head high surf on the outside. The mid-break never really came together, So I slid back downwind on the inside and found some fun peaky sections along the way. What an absolute blast!

Wind: NE @ 17-23kts ~n~ Gusty
Kite: 9M 07 Waroo
Board: 120 X 38cm Hana Crew
To top it all off I find this when I get home

What are the odds? The cam takes 1 pic every 60 minutes

Way to go, roundwinders take more seamanship and skill than downwinders. It would be great if more guys liked to do them. Maybe you'll start a trend.

That is remarkable that you caught yourself on the livecam. Thanks for putting up the images from Palm Beach Inlet. Those hi res shots are very nice.
