Definitely strange season so far. Just started getting consistent sea breeze and thermal gradient here which all seems kinda late .

Had on shore 11-15 mph last night....!

4m Jojo RM+ and Coyote Rollerblades. Zippy runs. Empty beach

Nice way to start the holiday weekend early.

Who also flies along on thin line?.......





Rock on!

Day 5
Well first day 4 was a lazy 4.9 blade day..put in 1.5 hrs in 12/15
Last day out today winds are switching and I'm working
Was happy I was going flying w/ 3.3 buster..had 45 mins working it in 12/17and felt I needed more...so out came the blade put it up and the winds instantly jumped to 22+ and I went back to survival flying...hung in as long as I could but I had no arms left and my neck hurt from having to look sideways at where as i was headed...great 5 days, gonna have to miss day 6 I'm kinda toast:thumbup:

Summer is ' How to Stuff a Wild Bikini' jammed at the beach on weekends and still busy during the week.

....Except when it is 58-60 degrees out and cloudy!

While Saturday was ' chock 'o block ' with folks......upper 80's and sunny...Sunday was cool and cloudy and beach was empty.

Also, luckily wind turned mostly on shore. On lower side at 8-11 mph but steady. Rode Coyotes again with Blade 6.4m. in middle of the day.

Lucky, lucky me.:D
