You really need to read the stuff above this post. Lots of useful things like dates, locations, donation requests, times, good stuff!

The forecast has been bouncing up and down for the last several days. It looks like things will be rideable with 14 kts. ENE predicted by Windguru.com and 10 to 15 kts. E by NWS tomorrow morning.

So, it looks like we should be a go for a lighter wind session tomorrow, Sunday with a launch time of about 10 am. This is an area in which Florida riders excel with expertise. So, should be interesting! We should hear from Kent later on today about this.

I heard yet another rumor that Father Christmas or Santa to his familiars on this side of the pond, is in fact planning a "shred by" of our launch area tomorrow.

Happy Holidays and think WIND!

i'm in. I'll be there at around 9:30. we should be able to do a 10 start. given the forecast, i will be using a directional. not much wind, but doable. at any rate it is a good work out and a great way to see the coast. surfboards, twins, and skims... oh my!
