Exclamation Summer Sessions (Post them Here)

Figured I'd start a new thread since we have 1 month (June) behind us and Only 3 more (the worst of the lot) to go ~yawn~


For myself and few others in my area (South Palm Beach County) June has been a GOOD month, for Summer that is

Session totals:

Kiting 12
Surfing 2

Got out late today for a while. The wind came up nicely to 15 to 20 kts after 4:30 pm. There were storms in most directions but a large hole stayed open over south Delray for a couple of hours. A nasty squall moved in, so I took a break for about a half hour then headed back out again. Lots of storms but also a fair freqency of large holes too. Anyone else get out?

It seemed as though around 4pm that North Delray/Boynton was going to get hammered. But the storms fortunately dissipated. I was able to get in a powered session till around 6pm on my 13m

Good to hear that you got some water time too Rick

Typical June? I think not

Nice shots Tony, thanks for putting them up. That's somewhere on Miami Beach, near the cut?

Embedding photos into posts is pretty easy. It is detailed at:

Putting youtube video links into posts is even easier:

I was at 69th st.
Great spot, very few swimmers as the nearest exit is closed to public.

Hopefully we will get some again soon.
Tony

(Just wanted to try the pics tool) Fresh session in the NW:

I saw the sand bar and boat nearshore so guessed south. Nice conditions. Wow, where was the snow kiting photo taken? The surface looks real good. For years I took some kiting gear to the mountains but never used any of it. A big cornfield in Minnesota or an area like you show is more my speed for getting into it as opposed to the mountains I think.

This pic was taken in eastern Washington.
I have been looking for a place to snowkite for 2 years when I was in Seattle and finally found it randomly.
No one around, miles and miles of fresh snow and easy access.
If you don't mind driving, the NW offers great variety of land and water spots.

Default Independance Day Swell

Super stoked!

Mother Nature delivered an eairly "Fireworks" display here in Palm Beach. Woke up this am with a northly drive on the agenda, As I knew there was a swell from the Low off the Carolina's

But to my suprise, It was coming in at Lake Worth. Waist to Chest high w/crystal clear water and not a breath of wind.

Saved the long haul up coast and surfed outback for over 2 hours
