Looks like tomorrow could be a nice day for a little kite session? Not too windy, not freezing cold either and a falling tide at Bbay? Plenty of open sand flats to get yarded across.... ;)

If work and wind cooperate, I should be there with my wind board sailing thing.

Got out for a short yet fun session with Jerry and Cash!

Many kiters packing up when I arrived around 11:30 but wind came back up and thanks to Cash's Windummy honours got me out.

Falling tide, as predicted, made it easy to touch everywhere, amazed there were only 3 of us out. Actually pretty powered on my 13.5 and surfboard....thinking about losing the straps now... Hmm..

Hopefully more in the next few days!!

Glad you got out Chuck. I scored a nice hour session this morning. It was a lot windier than the sensor was showing on the outside. I was actually coming in to rig down to the 5.2 when the wind just dropped off. Unfortunately that just when Alton and Richi were heading out. I stayed on the 5.8 and went back out with Richi but there was only just enough to get planing once then we headed back in. Blasted by Cash and saw a few other kiters out as well.

Looks like the kites are out at Centennial and there's just enough wind to sail big gear, but the tide is heading out too fast for us windsurfers. Alton - are you out practising, or thinking of windsurfing at Pt Bob?
