I would never advertize my shop items, here.

So Chris, this would most defiantly fit you. I would even deliver it to you and help you set it up, free.

I know which buggy Jeff is speaking of and I can tell ya that it has very little use and is quite the ride. Always nice to pay used price for something in all practical purposes is still new.

Low Tides


Late afternoon low tide - possible moisture - mild wind <12 bring your BIG kites.

Have jobs in morning anyway...but may "sneak" over if conditions present themselves. I have some new bushings to "test".... :smilegrin:

Hi Guys
I won't know until Friday if i can make it, but I will let you know one way or the other.

Jeff, I like my buggy best. She is just so dialed in for those long days I like to put in.
I'd love to go to Grayland but I have a family gathering that weekend

Chris H, are you thinking of camping out again?
Conditions look like they might be even better than last week!

the wind came around to a good 10 to 12 on almost a beautiful pure Westerly and it was another epic day (for me) it was 20 mph one way and 30 mph the other way. I love my 11m Vapor!!! I am just under 1K for the year.
You would have gone crazy CH, it was what we were talking about.
It was was warm too.
Jellis and Sunset Jim drove by to say hello, always nice to see you guys, thanks.
just another epic day at Sunset.
Can hardly wait for SOBB

Parked right by Jim...must have missed ya...

Rode a nice up-winder almost to Del Ray....until the tide started to eat up most of the beach...then high-tailed it back to the truck.

Not a bad day...

it was SW down here, funky. I was out on the 11m vapor but I could have used the 16... too many people down here this weekend for speed. I doubt I can convince the family to head up to sunset. Should be another great day!

Maybe I'll sneak over in the morning....and peek at low tide...

beach at manzo was packed, light wind all day from the S. I put up my SA19 for a bit, JUST AFTER I took it down the wind picked up to 25... WTF. glad my kite was not in the air. Temp was 86 but fell to 60 in 3h when the marine layer rolled in (finally). should be good today (at least down here) around 2pm given the area weather.

It was much better today. We dropped 30 degrees yesterday in 2 hrs and 20 of that in just 1 hr. Today was back to normal, about 65 (at most) and a LOT less people. Enough wind and open beach to get to a pretty fun speed :) No GPS, can only speculate so I won't even say. But I did have to go onto the soft sand to pass some cars. Yeehaw

I'm not really sure, it was some tribal art looking thing...:P

I believe it was the 6.7 Century II and the winds were approaching 15. A bit of a SW but still able to make it upwind without having to tack and fun as all get out being that it was about the optimum angle going downwind. I so much wanted to pass the cars on the hard pack, but there just wasn't quite enough of it to feel safe, so onto the soft stuff which slowed me down quite a bit. But, still able to get by em. Sure didn't take long to get back from Del Rey...:wee:
