Be afraid . Be VERY afraid !!! :smug:

WOW, When we left Nabx last year we hit a sand storm like that it was off the hook. Stopped traffic right in the middle of the highway! could not see anything. Property damage? Yea, I don't know how some of those houses were still there. Covered in dirt and sand.

Wasn't that a great wind? On that sunday I hit my top speed of 57 as a wall of wind came across the lakebed. Weee!!!

What were using Steve - the trusty Phantom or the Synergy?
Jim, Ziggy and I are bringing a mix of PLs again but I was going to nix the 10m Scorpion and bring an 8 and 12 Synergy instead. Hoping the 8 Syn will be faster on short lines.
Sounds good - 4 days to go before we head down.

My wife's not distracting me away from the Playa this year so more time to fly my PL. ....I was able to pull off 60.7 on GPS 3 times in a row with the winds Sthrasher mentioned ,in a landsailer....I'm going to bring a few foils I bought from Jon Ellis after returning home and there sweet to fly . I don't want to steal you seat time but on mild days if you can you give it the once over ? ,It would go along way dude ;-)

Hey Crash - anytime buddy. Just get your daughter to drop you off when she drives by!
We'll see you down there in a few days.
