Default Rooker sat.

I am heading out to rooker on saturday. I will have a 14 ft john boat. But if you want to go out there you can launch from sunset beach and kite out there. Its probally 2 to 2.5 miles cross wind. For those of you that havent been privilaged enough to go out there it is a kiters paradise. SW wind means flat on the inside possible swell on the outside. You can ride from the cove to the gulf through a pass that was cut in the island. I think I am going to name that pass "kiters pass".

Nothing at all, EB is my favorite spot to ride because the water is so flat... I just tend to like areas that won't get as crowded because I am still not to a level where I could say I am not a "beginner" anymore and since there has been such a wind lull and I know EB will be crowded Saturday, I try to steer clear so the whining about newbies doesn't start :roll: ...I'll be at EB this afternoon though Danny and maybe on Sat!!! Hope I see you out there!

Also the wind is supposed to clock further west on sat making eb no good. I personaly dont like eb when it gets past ssw. After ssw the wind on the beach and about 20 to 50 yards out gets fleuky. Rooker is also closer to my house its a better riding spot than eb I think. Personally its my favorite because you can ride it on any wind direction. When Josh and I were out there the wind went due east for awhile and never really got that fleuky. Plus can you go from flat to waves without ever touching land try doing that at EB. To me rooker is way better than EB. EB is still one of my favorite spots though.
