Managed to juggle work for a "splash and dash" session. The plan was kiting. When I arrived I was surprised at the wind strength, but stuck to the kite plan. Great session on 7M. It was Chuck and I eating up the waves out from Centennial (where were you Alton?). 1.5 hour session. 4 hours "door to door" (time I left and returned home). A little cooler air today than yesterday but still "warm." Good turn out (kiter, windsurf & wing).

Fun “after Big Monday” session today. Wind was still up-and-down but good enough for a couple of good hours on 5.0/95, with no problem staying upwind of the launch. Water was disorganized, with waves here and there if you searched for them.
I enjoyed it enough to erase the bummed-out feeling of missing yesterday (especially after hearing the stories about yesterday’s conditions).
The weather was as variable as the wind, with everything from short periods of driving rain to rainbows and sunshine.
Great to see about a dozen windsurfers show up for today’s tail end of the storm.

Started with 8m+surfboard ... but then got greedy and underpowered on 6m. Interrupted by work then ended with 12m+surfboard. Nice waves but wind was not the best.

I also missed Monday storm but on purpose as I chickened out :oops: Showed up today and rigged 4 2 which was ok for about half an hour then it dropped and it was a struggle to keep planing.
Did not want to re-rig. Should have been on my 4.8 and I would have been dialed in all the time.
Like Brian said it was great to see lots of windsurfers and good to see Kato after all those years :D .
