Slaw

thanks for the heads up.... I missed the howling 50mph winds and minus tides on 12/07/07:(

don't worry I will stay away. If I show up the wind will instantly stop.:no:

Well it didn't stop but it only got stronger.We had seven people ripping today and it was nicely gusting to high 28.I was riding my 4.9 blade IV and boy did it delivered. I was jumping on 4' cliff and than taking off of it all day long. Eventually I was tired after over 3 hours nonstop riding and it was time to hit Java beach Cafe with my friends. You guys always complain about lack of wind and when there is that perfect day You always not there. What's up with that ?

David 50 might be just little to much and I assumed You where out of town as it is impossible to miss that kind of wind. Wonder what You would pull out of Your bad .3m or .5m ;)

I wish I was closer to the city. I'm 2 hours from OB on a good day. During the week with traffic it could be 3+ hours. Thats just one way. You guys are definately fortunate to have that in your back yard.

Geez you guys are brave...I feel overpowered when the winds above 17 and I'm flying my 4.5 bullet :o

I was plenty lit on the Yakuza 5m... I forgot how fast they were , since Aug. I been riding mostly on the HAKAs

way more comfortable on a beach with an overpower wing than on the desert surface were it's not so forgiving if you get tweak out some .

Hope it blows again today....... there's a channel starting to forum up really nice from the out flow pipe close to the hard-pack
