Winds: SE 15-25. Jesse's 12m. Waves: waist high, soupy. Water: moon jelly bloom. Storms rolling through--not the safest conditions. Packed it in before the storm picked up. Not a fun session, but I guess it's going to have to last me. See you next year. :(

Monday, 28 September 2009

Winds: SW-13-20 all day. 16m. Waves calf high near sandbar. three foot swells at times out. Water: mostly clear, mild murk. Freaking awesome session. Flew higher and longer than ever before. Jesse had a good session with the 12m.

Saturday, 26 September 2009

Winds: SW-WNW 7-15. Waves: calf high near sandbar. Water: few sprigs of sargasso but clear. Didn't expect to surf, but winds came up, off and on in between thunderstorms. Was feast and famine. Had to wait out some lulls.

Sunday, 20 September 2009

Winds: SE-S 8-13. Waves: calf high. current very fast on shore. Water: murky with various vegetation. Some more side shore work. Record number of kites at beach. Tourist took pictures. Had to emergency land ashore because friend got dragged across street. Learning can be difficult. Everything's okay.

Friday, 18 September 2009

Winds: SE-S 8-10 (12-18). Waves: calf high. soupy. Water murky, various vegetation. Had some side shore work in between giving a friend lessons. Missed out on awesome winds because of work. Died when I got there. Oh well, at least I'm planing.

Wednesday ,16 September 2009

Winds: SE 12-17. Waves: waist high at sandbar, soupy thoughout. Water: some more sargasso floating about, but clear. Jesse flew his 12m Naish Helix. He likes very much. Rogue Wave needs foot adjustment. Logged big jumps today, but still figuring out how the 16m wants to stick the landing. Just about a perfect surfside session.

Tuesday, 15 September 2009

Winds: SSE-S 11-14. Waves: waist high at breakers, soupy. Water: little black speck floating in the water. a few sargasso branches. Personal best: went sideshore through the surf all the way to the first parking lot to the west and back without pause. about 2.5 mile round trip.

Sunday, 13 September 2009

Dry Spell. Sat on the beach. Could barely fly the kite. Yelled profanities south. Still happy to be at the beach, though.

Friday, 4 September 2009

Winds: SE 12-15. Waves: waist high in spots. Water: clear all the way out and gorgeous. Figured out how to coax mean upwind with 16m Crossbow. Winds a little gusty to the low side, but stayed on until we were exhausted. First "kitesurfing" session of the season. Forgot how tiring waves are.

Saturday, 29 August 2009

Winds: SW 8-11. Waves: flat. Water: clear all the way out. Still getting used to the 16m. Had great downwind tacks in beginning of day. Most of day waiting for north storms to give the wind back. Burst of wind near sunset. Good jumps logged. Jesse landed first backroll.

Friday, 28 August 2009

Winds: SW 7-11. First use of Cabrinha Crossbow 2010 16m. Strings still need adjustment and wasn't getting much power to ride consistently. Waves: flat. Water: clear all the way out. I need more wind... This month was very dry.

Tuesday, 11 August 2009

Winds: WSW 11-17. Forecast near light and variable. Got a little gusty near sunset. 17m. Waves: flat except for a few calf high on sandbar. Water: clear near shoreline, heavy patches of salad on bottom far out. Session was good for the soul. Too many days since last time. Stuck almost all landings. Replaced bridle line on 17m. Flies a little better now.

No good conditions since last entry. Lot of thunderstorms and unstable air. Getting anxious for a good day out there

Sunday, 2 August 2009

Winds: SW 13-18 Clean until storm started up NW of spot. Stayed on until sunset, odd. 17m. Waves: flat, occasional knee high. Water: spoiled salad near shore, green murk all the way out. 11m broke Chicken line while friend trained. Tried out new paddleboard. I should stick to the sound for a while with that. No fisherman today!

Winds: SW 13-16 Clean all day. Waves: flat, occasional knee high. Water: solid salad on shore to about 100 feet out. Tourist fishermen are getting very inconvenient.

Friday, 24 July 2009

Winds: SSW-SW 10-12. Waves: no curls, but 2 foot swells past sandbars. Felt like a faster current moving from SW. Water: salad came back. Not an intensive session, but fun nevertheless. Only got in about an hour's worth after work.

Tuesday, 21 July 2009

Winds: SW 5-8. Jesse took the 17m. I declined. Water: Crystal, played in the water with the inner tube. Waves: Flat Ocean. Tried Jesse's new HeroPro camera. Nice! Jesse could plane and transition, but could not stay up wind. Still, pretty good for 8.
