Winds: S 11. 16m. Spleene Board. Water: still thick salad. Waves: some shoulder high. Fast current straight onshore. Although I had enough grunt to move, the current kept pushing me ashore. Very frustrating.

Winds: SSE 13-15. 16m. Spleene Board. Water: thick salad near shore. Very gross. Evening, so water was dark. Waves: waist high. SE swell Nice long period. Dude, a month without kiteboarding??! Crap. Need to get a job closer to my surf spot. First session with Jesse back in town. It was an awesome ride. Glad I made it out in time. Wind was on until sunset.

Winds: WSW 15-18. 16m. Both boards. Water: solid murk, salad is tossed. Waves: holy crap, the gulf is off its meds. Waist to shoulder high on first sandbar, but crazy currents on the second. Could hardly keep my edge since the water was churning so much. Severe riptides. Didn't feel safe so I went to the soundside. Good decision. Not easy to land there while avoiding the sea oats.

Winds: SE 11-14. 16m. Spleene Board. Water: June grass is still clumped and rotting. Water was dark, but it was early evening. Waves: knee high. long period. I need to find a way to store my kite in a hot car. I'm missing out on stoke because of my job.

Winds: WSW 11-15. 16m. Spleene Board. Water: June grass is starting to clump. Larger branches are washing ashore. Waves: Butter day. Saw a five foot long turtle out there. Awesome. Too bad I worked today: wind lasted longer than I did.

Tuesday, 13 July 2010

Winds: SW 13-16 16m. Spleene board. Water: I don't think you can pile more june grass in the gulf. I wiped out and didn't splash. I blorped. Waves: couple knee high, two foot seas. Got out too late, wind started to die near 6. I wonder if there is oil in the june grass? Can't see or smell anything.

Winds: WSW 16-20. 16m. Rogue Wave board. Water: murky with full salad. Waves: few waist high, but a lot of chop past breakers. Downwind with Philip. Could have cleared the pier but he needed to leave since I was late in coming. Hung out at landing spot and surfed some more. Curious beachgoers gave me stoke. 9.7 miles. total. 21 mph max.
