Alton, you kiting fool! What kind of progress did you make today? Did you get the pass behind the back jump dialed yet?

Still working on sine-ing the kite. Staying on the board but still losing ground. Challenging when wind gradually drops from E20 to E12.

Tides tomorrow certainly favour the kites, pretty low tides during the meaty part of the forecast, unless you dont mind a looooooong walk at Centennial.

Shame I didnt make it out today though it sounded a bit on the light side, even down in the Magical Land of Windy Whidbey Island, guess the wind imps were snoozing down there...certainly picked up a bit of dejection in C36's voice on the OSR (thx for that, btw) but hey! at least they got a nice long Border lineup for the way home :evil: I feel your pain Brudder

Alton! Throw some lagers in the car and we can toast your kiting prowess! I feel a breakthrough day coming tomorrow!!

P.S. Great tides favour the noob kiters, plus a balmy 12 degrees in the forecast! Who needs Maui anyways :P

If its not working at bbay, consider looking at the locust graph. The tide will be better for kiting as the morning goes on, but good for windsurfing at dawn too.
