SE Saturday?

[Alton]

I don't understand that. Looks like 10012KT P6SM?
10012kt ... does this mean I need a 0.25meter kite?

190900 = Dec 19 0900 UTC = Sat Dec 19 1am Pacific Time
100 degrees = East
12KT = 12 knots

Only pilots can read TAF ... that's why WTFBC decodes it for you

Dunno. Don't want to wait too long in the cold but don't want to miss anything.

Centennial nicely powered 5.3.

Fun session. 12m quite powered, then 9 quite powered. Been a while since I've flown those larger kites. Temp was nice, wind was very steady. I saw Mark launch a nice air and come down with authority! Holy cannonball! Glad you got the kite launched. Too bad i missed that with the camera.

That was my first big kite loop attempt, which resulted in me landing downwind of my kite and inverting it as it fell down. By the time I relaunched I lost track of my board. Grabbed my light wind board and went searching but never did find it. The coast guard has been informed.
