Heading to Charleston that day. Can you swing up the coast for our Folly beach follies on that Saturday?

We're heading to Baton Rouge on Friday so I'm squeezing in this Jekyll trip as it is. I'd really like to hit Folly with you guys but this is a family trip that has been planned for a while. Have a great time. I'll report back from Jekyll.

Update from Jekyll. Winds were averaging 8-10 but gusts to 14 and lulls to 3 made it challenging. First time with the 19 mtr Psycho 4 in the water. Looking at these pics I'm wondering if my fifth line might not be a bit tight. I was joined by Angus with the Synergy 15 (in the background of one of the pics) and Robb Van Wies with a 13 mtr Freakdog LEI and skimboard. I was on a Litewave 145.

Good day! Super tired. 10 hours in the car plus five hours on the beach equals a VERY long day.

looks great! 19m p4 should been plenty, it's has been light around here

If the wind had been constant at 10, it would have been a sweet session but the lulls had me checking in on my butt. The kite never came out of the sky but it would have been nice to have a little more consistent wind.

That kite is a beast! When it gets constant 12 and over I'll be switching to another kite.
