Awesome day today. Warm water indeed. Nice flat water inside but then way out nice clean waves.

Tomorrow at Acadia :-) Low tide.

Awesome day indeed. AJ's OSRs motivated me to get off my ass and score 2 hrs (12-2:30pm) at 3rd Ave in steady SSE 18-22 on 9m+surfboard. Long walk out was worth it. Fun to share knee to waist high waves with Mike, AJ, Rob W, Luke, Michael (windsurfing) and about 6 other kiters.

Fingers crossed for Acadia.

That was nice! Thanks AJ, I started checking the wind sensor after I saw your OSR and decided to go and see what was happening. The first hour was great, well powered on the 5.8/102L combo. Was ripping around with Mike, AJ and Alton. Nice to see you guys playing in the waves. Then things started to die off and I could only get planing on the way in. So I kept slogging out to catch some of the nice playful waves on the sand bank. Was too warm for my 5.5/4 winter suit, sailed in bare feet which was nice. More please!!!!!!
