daily grind full on monday!
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.as...
check the data folks near perfect conditions.
4-6pm easy on, easy off, low tide late in the afternoon, crowd density tolerable without a 1/2 mile trek.
the ocean was swollen and choppy 4-6ft. providing on tap ramp work for snapshot grabs and lazy rolls on the ends.
still fully wicked out on the SK ExA 13m/140 Sprint. haven't touched the trim yet.
high speed trough runs into ample peaks yielded airs that just went on and "LOOKED frighteningly HIGH" that's what the lady said, FROM 1/2 mile out!
indeed scared myself a few times.
working on 7days in row with the afternoon peaks.
low tides getting close to 6pm (go time for land ) i will be adding the CH15 back into the mix to get past the collapse thing(hopefully) with mixed
ATB/water sessions.
the navigator bar has been pulling all the water time with hybrid c-kite minus the center line safety. bar has got about 250 hours on it and looks
it . mainline performance has improved since beveling/chamfered the center hole.
BTW the bar end slide rings(oh chit pulls) work great to drop solo , LE slam down at the edge nearing 100% even in higher winds. not as violent as
it sounds but it has hailed in ninja skills of last second release and pull . looks amazing , feels the same. ...and if it don't work perfectly it
rolls over once and i cus. not quite as graceful but safe and effective .
and that's a MONDAY in the daily grind

NO GO ON GOPRO. the ocean has to eat enough i don't think we should add to it.
i would loose it . or most likely, it fails and now i would own some new cool techno garbage. very nice though. should i stumble into recycled,
re-purposed, or moth balled gear suffering from updation type stuff, thats more me. i don't even use the stuff i have it just sits, cooking in the
truck with the rest of the fun junk.
here you go , this is the first video i watched 3 winters ago ...love it all, music, flow and all the show. its the same as me. i wanted to become
a rider. JUST LIKE THIS. AWARE of what i lacked, committed the CHANGE and my INTENT delivered. simple as that

20 sounds good. +/- 5?
hard to say 15-18mph would be closer

Was wondering, with the boat runs as slow as I can get is 18- 20, and I thought it looked close to the same.
I know its going to be way different when I get a kite involved but maybe I can get a little used to the board this way. Sure can't hurt anything.
Maybe I can get a short video uploaded, dunno why just showing how the Proof rides behind the boat.
