Showed up at 7:30 at SB West Concession to 14 knots so I suited and rigged. By the time I was done pumping the wind was dead calm. Stood around for 15 min chatting with Shane then decided to head up to Acadia.
12 knots when I arrived at Acadia so I pumped up on the patch of sand on the beach so I could drift launch over the sandbar. By the time I was ready it was again dead calm.
Hung out on the Acadia sandbar with Lucas for an hour watching the wind line tease in closer. Finally around 9:45 it came in close enough to get our kites in the air.
12m + skim for me, wind was very up and down. Nice waves out at Tower Beach. I went all the way to the 2nd tower but it got pretty fluky then. After a couple hours of boosting in the waves I got bored with the up and down wind so I headed down to the shallows.
Pleased to find much more steady wind down there, and very nice wind/wave angle small ramps for aerial shovits and much warmer water. Rode until 1:00 as the Acadia sandbar was going under.
