Definitely hook up with another PKF member if you can. If you find your stars crossed though, it looks like Jeff from ProKiteSurf might have some useful info for you:

It's like the AAA for wind and water :smilegrin:

Woogly :wee:

Gem,
You might keep an eye on Lake P if you're staying up in CenTex.
Might not be enough for your 10m but you could still practice self launching and landing. I'm thinking about heading out there if the forecast gets a bit better. Showing 15mph in the morning now on ikitesurf.

I'm heading out to OSP for some kite skatebaording right now if you're up for it. Should be there till about 5.

Dang...Galveston does look tempting. The only good spot in the state for wind over the weekend. I need my fix again after riding the surf at Port A. Have to do some early morning sessions.

Where are you going to ride Dylan?

i will be hitting the beach as early as i can... prob around 8 oclock... i like the exit right after the state park, headed south... i think its beach access 17, but the wind looks like it will favor the exit right before the state park... either way, the park is off limits to traffic and has less swimmers than the rest of the access points

* ill be there sunday am
