Erm, it's starting to get fairly breezy here in Richmond...

Trying to dry my wet soggy kites but they keep blowing around!!

Anyone down Jericho way with a report?

Terminal looking windy too...

I'll drop by Jericho/Spanish Banks a bit after 12pm and post an OSR. Was feeling breezy and misty on campus, the apocalypse is coming, Alton.

Spanish Banks looks like a sketchy launch - swirly SW wind and high tide.

There's a windsurfer at Jericho ripping it up - probably Richi !!!

I think too bagged from this morning's session at Locust to consider any more kiting.

Anyway, I got to finish some work now.

You could launch from the main beach, but only on low tide, was not the case today.
Or at the beach just where the lead is to the Totem pole, I would say expert only, or with help.
For me the best is the grass area in the corner, and walk across... ;)
It was 9m there today at best, but mostly could have fly a bigger kite as I was on a raceboard.
Sunny and steady wind, a bonus! No good waves. No seaweeds, but branches and garbage where the river flooded into the sea.
cheers
Gabe
