So I hear it was a stellar on shore day today! I am just leaving the house, making my short trek to WW to make sure I am there for first light as weather reports have the winds howling by morning , SSE 25+. Get your gear in gear and be there!

If anyone has a small harness that Hiaguy can borrow for this event? He bought one from me. it arrived at his hotel yesterday. But even though it was marked on the package small AND on the outside of the harness S, the inside tag on the harness is a M and too big for him. its a Divine harness....so if anyone needs one, he has a new one. Hook up with Howard (staying at Shalimar).

Howard...I have you covered. I have a DaKine fusion that will work for you with a hook but if you had a different spreader bar we can make it work. Two seconds to change...Leaving in 3.5 hrs but who's counting....

So lets sum up today! TOTALLY AWESOME!

Yea we had to dodge some rain storms here and there, but when it wasn't raining, it was dead on! SSE 16-20 or so. High tide was early, but when the water started going back out, let me tell you it got fast quick! I hit 41.1mph dealing with really bad tire wobble, Konrad hit 46mph. A couple other guys were also in that range. It was just a great time, racing up and down the beach till we had to stop due to darkness!

Can't wait till the rest of you get here!

Mike, thanks for the post. Hopefully PL will get their act together. (I've got the harness for anybody that's interested. New PL Devine size M.)

Bruce, thanks for the offer.
