Not looking too good on Sunday but Monday might be good for a little bit. I'll watch the wind and make a decision tomorrow or Saturday, sure would like to get some more footage with the new pole extension.

CORRECTION- As knolee said I have monday off and I'm going flying tomorow afternoon if anyone's interested. You know where, the usual:kiss: Conditions might be good for the bowl on monday if we get some more north in the forecast. I'll probably be heading up there if conditions are good.

Anyone available tomorow or is everyone still going to be at tugg hill:ninja: Forecast doesn't look like much wind for tomorow around here but its been changing from WNW to NNW and from high winds to low winds just about everyday for the past week on accuweather. Might luck out and be able to hit the bowl again....

Wind is supposed to be variable from 9-14 from the WNW-NNW. Bowl could be fun if that holds true. Anybody live close enough to check out the winds tomorrow and send me or power a PM?

We'll see how things look tomorow. I wish I had a bigger kite but it should be fun anyway. 14 as the highest gust maybe? Accuweather says 9g13 for tomorow, if that's what its like tomorow and the winds are WNW forget it.

So that's the forecast for tomorow? Those arrows were all over the place, if that's how the wind really acted you'd be getting pulled one moment and then the kite would be flying towards you next!

Its by the hour of the whole bay area you, just have to look at the small dot at the top left where Baltimore is. It helps to stop the animation and go through it slowly.

Everywhere is going to be a mud pit too.

We're going to be pulling up some new kites down here tomorrow, not too crazy about riding in the mud so it will be good to give the S-Arc a shot in the air. All are welcome to join us but a couple hours of riding for some static flying seems a little senseless.

I'll be at Solomon's Island and will be fooling around with the ARC's. Just north of the bridge is a retirement home that enjoys seeing the kites in the air so this will be the spot. I'll shoot you my number if you want to come down.
