Default wind forecast

Looks fairly weak for the next ten days....we might get a late afternoon seabreeze here and there.......high prerssure sitting on us.....
Every time Harry comes to town he is throwing more tricks and going bigger....Thursday when we were all beat, He rigged his 12 as we were all too lit up on our 16's..........totally inspirational to watch this guy ride.

Lots of new gear for 07///// but beware....some of the new ones look good but perform poorly.

Great wind yesterday (Monday) and most people playing hooky and riding all day. Great waves at the jetties in PC ... Mr. Surf himself said, "not good for us, but good for you guys!".
Today could be good too if the rain stays off. Winds more southerly, so be careful on the launch/land.
What's the word on the rest of the panhandle?

Default State Park

There were ten kites at the State Park yesterday...some good riding went down. Alligator Point was good earlier in the day. Most of us were on 9 to 12 meter kites. Where were you Larry?

We made it out to the state park late .... Woz was leaving when we arrived and there were a couple of folks still riding. Sorry we missed you guys. Just glad to finally have some wind! Just a few more pics on our web from that evening.

Default State Park

Glad you guys made it out there!
Last two days were 20-25 ESE here.....huge surf, like 12-15 feet. 9's, 10's and 12 meter kites. Some out of towners were here riding....Harry and John on a wind chasing trip......started out in Pensacola and came towards Panama City Beach as the Low from Texas pushed this way....these guys are hard and riding better every time we see them. Ten kites at the State Park yesterday, today only three riders out in huge waves and plus 20 wind.....hard core for sure. Late tonight there were three riders out at Alligator point in the flat water...near perfect conditions. Looking good for tomorrow as well.

Default Getting ready for more...

Larry, it was good to see you out there on Monday. The surf was too much for me as the day had gone on. Did you get out yesterday? I enjoyed the flatwater in the AM and PM. Hope to see you out there again, Linda

I didn't get out that Tuesday ... started raining about the time I was able to go.
Did get out today. Windy and gusty ... like 13-23 when I was checking it at Carl Grey. I made up some new moves: Raley Kiteloop Faceplant and the Forward Spin Transition Kiteloop Backplant. Shoulda seen it. Ow.
