Conditions haven't been great the past few times I've gone out. I'd love to meet some more power kiters out here. Guess I am the only one willing to deal with the shifty bull ish winds out here lately.

Thursday winds at Montrose are going to be amazing right after lunch time for the rest of the day. 14mph+ only gusting to 20mph. Total sweet spot for the wind. I will hopefully get my buggy onto the sand that day. Even if I do not get the buggy out, I will be static with the 5.0 or the 8.0 if I feel ballsy enough.
