My son and I had a great time on the water today from 3:00-5:00. It was about 14 knots and perfect conditions for the 12 m + SUP for tandem rides in the sunshine.

Yesterday Metar Taf also forecasted only 10 knots. All I need is 12 knots to get going on my 8 m :-)

Osr Spanish banks. Jeff and James out on big kites (15m) and AJ out in his 8m. They all look powered, it feels like 15g20 on the beach. I'm going to suit up and go with my 12m. Flat water and sand bars are starting to show, come on down!

Jeff just came in to switch his 15m for a 10m. He said its about 20 knots on the outside.

Thanks for the OSRs. Busy this morning fixing the leak on my inflate valve. Scored a solo session (1hr) at Acadia (12-1pm) on my 12m+surfboard in W15. Stress tested the fix to confirm the leak is fixed.

Did you replace it with a U-stick valve?

I had to replace my 10m inflate with one and then replace that with another U-stick a year later.
