Upham... Possible DW today 11/11

Unimog Bob · #1 11-11-2009, 07:00 AM

Would like to ride today around 11am.
Will be at Upham in WNW or W.
If winds are NW, would like to do a DW.
Post on here if interested, we can figure out details.
We have 2 guys going so far.

Gonna hang at Upham. Winds still decent. Just started to rain, but will pass.
Too much W for a decent DW.

Please pardon this request for local knowledge from a newbie. Where is Upton? On NNW winds on the Gulf where do you normally start and finish down winders? Do you normally take cell phones or cash in case of a problem? I know some finish at the Undertow on St. Pete Beach. Would like to join in when you do the next one.

Regards,
Tim

Upham beach is about 2 miles north of Don Cesar.
When doing DWs, def. bring 2 bucks and booties (for trolley).
DWs sort of suck on NNW (and definitely suck on N, at least if starting south of John's Pass). NW is the absolute best.

Commonly start in the Indian Rocks area and stop at Undertow.

Today was pretty good out at Upham, especially starting about 1.5 hours ago (12:30). Still blowing good out there now, but everyone packed up.

Thanks for the loaner kite, Roy.

Tomorrow(thurs) might be a decent day for a DW. Predictions are NW. I'm down for a DW.

No problem Scott. You should have took it out sooner.

Unimog Bob · #7 11-11-2009, 11:15 PM

Tx again Roy.
Cornel (and anyone else interested, like Paul), I would love to do a DW.
Get out of class at 9:15, can be somewhere by 9:30

Scott---according to this late response, you must have been at the Derb playin' your last hands of NLHM...give me a holler in the am for the meeting place

Yeah. Had 4 big hands last night (all ins). Two times I had the nuts at one point post flop, other guy had second nut (one was broadway rainbow vs. K hi str.)
Other two got someone all in with AA or KK pre and held up.

Monday night was even better

Reno was at 5/10 last night doing well.

I am thinking North Beach. It's awfully North wind for a DW.
I think that is what Paul is thinking too. I will call you and Paul at 9:30.

Report from North Beach is that it is dead side shore, slightly gusty.
They are rigging 11's and 13's.
4 guys out there.
