Thursday 30 December 2010

Winds: SE 10-12. Forecast 17. 16m. Rogue Wave Board. Water: serious murk due to chop. Waves: fast, breaking quick. Some overhead. Was meant to be a downwinder with Philip and Tim, but the waves were a bit much and the wind didn't show up as forecasted. Did a few runs, could get upwind. Called it early.

Sunday,12 December 2010

Winds: NW 20-30. 12m Helix. Spleene Board. Big Sabine Session--attempted downwinder. Water: very disturbed. Sound very choppy. Jesse took my 11m, and had problems with it. We aborted a mile into downwinder. Good safety call. Conditions were just a little to gusty for us tonight.

Monday, 6 December 2010

Winds: NW-13-16. 16m. Spleene Board. Soundside session. Water: near sunset but seems clear. Bloody cold. Feet almost had frostbite. Winds was gusty too. Not a long session, but enough to get some exercise.

Saturday, 4 December 2010

Winds: SW 13-17. 16m. Rogue Wave Board. Epic Downwinder: first flag Pcola Beach to Navarre Beach condos. 12 miles. Water: crystal clear and gorgeous. Chilly but air temp comfortable. All species of rays seen and a turtle. Waves: mostly butter, a few thigh highs to make it interesting without being exhausting. Longest downwinder ever! Landed at nightfall.

Wednesday, 1 December 2010

Winds: NNW 8-11. 16m Spleene Board. Soundside Session. Water: murk our deep. Still cold. Lots of holes in the wind. Some gusts made it kiteable, but overall a frustrating session on a pretty day.

Saturday, 27 November 2010

Winds: N 11, Gust 16. 16m. Spleene Board. Soundside session. Water: murk out deep. Cold front. Used wetsuit for first time this season. Winds were quite odd. On land the wind did a 360 on me. Holy crap, a month without kiteboarding! This is supposed to be the best time of the year too! There were days with wind, but the surf was dangerous, or there were storms nearby.

Sunday, 24 October 2010

Winds: SE: 11-14. 16m. Both boards. Big Sabine Gulfside session. Water: slight murk, some light seaweed came back. Waves: moderate chop. Head highs at second sand bar. Very gray day. Only had one really good run past the breakers. Navarre Beach is still purple flagged. I think it's the moon jellies.
