I'd even take marginal wind at this point! I just happened to check the Sherman chart a minute ago and it looked almost kitable starting at noon. I'm wondering if anyone hit it?

Nah, didn't get any love last week. But, I'll be in Costa Rica in three weeks so I can't complain too much. I hope I don't bust a blood vessel from excitement when I finally get some good wind.

I got some Sherman today. There was a bunch of us; Kurt, Michelle, John, Donny Sandy, Nate, Kevin, karen, and a bunch of other folks. It was nice to be riding again. It was up and down a bit but overall a great session. I hope tomorrow brings more. :)

Dave, have fun in Costa Rica, the wind is good for sure. You can be riding anything from a 12m to a 5m. It's all over and pretty crazy gusty. We get spoiled with the clean Sherman winds. It took me a few sessions to get comfortable with the conditions, but knowing your awesome riding you're gonna be kicking some ass! Enjoy.

What is the story with Bodega Bay, can you kite there when it is low tide?
Can you kite off Doran Beach?
