Sailing Report

Seems like it's been rainy all month... Everyone wanted their say on this one. Chris Lee:
"Today turned out to be pretty good and for the first half an hour or so... I could probably have made the 5.0 work at times but with the threat of clouds, I decided to go with the 5.5 instead. I sailed for couple hours and it was fun. http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/8476325

Tony:
Pretty strong wind this morning at LP. Arrived at 5:40 and on the water at 6:10. Kited till 8 and left just as Jason B was entering the water. John B was putting up some nice lofty jumps and back rolls in both directions. I am trying to get use to my new (but used) instinct and was not getting very high but had a great first day after getting the pin out of my hand on Tuesday. Winds were strongest at 7:00am and definately in the mid 20's

JBrick:
I slept in and almost didn't go. I woke up at 7:10 and said "too late to kite... better start working". However, the strong winds outside my window (by Barber Park) lured me to check the sensors. It looked good and I thought it might be one of those days that it keeps blowing and blowing. And it did till 10:20 when Jon B, B-Rad, and I all came in as the wind was shutting off.
I got on the water at 8:00am and was overpowered on my 2004 17m Fuel. The wind was strong for LP and gusty/punchy as the clouds were coming and going. Lots of windsurfers out ripping.... The wind never let up till 10:10. A little more than 2 good hours on the water. I'm sore already. Nice swell today by the cliffs.

Jon Bolt:
...didn't get on the water until probably 7:15AM or so and it was terrific 12-13m stuff. Very consistent, smooth, filled in... you could try anything... right until you went off the water when the clouds came in and blocked the sun. After that the average went down and it got gusty & holy. But when the sun did occasionally come out, it picked up and got little more consistent. B-Rad & Jason & I flew until 10:15 or so. Perhaps the best morning of the year so far. Wish I'd gotten up earlier. I saw the low pressure readings and LP wind speeds on low side and almost didn't come...thought it'd be 14-16m fore sure... but it was juiced 12m.
