Be careful out there, gusts of 40. Alameda is probably the best shot on a day like today. We will probably not kite but instead keep an eye for the newb that decied to take his new 12 out for its first spin.

I'll bring some hot cocoa to the shack so you guys can warm up afterwards. See ya out there.

Sorry Greg, i have no generator and I dont want my electric blanket to smell like bay water. but seriously, if I see a crowd i will brew up some hot cocoa and bring it down. seems like it is dying down though pretty quick. who knows what will happen. it's like a box of chocolates.

Yuri-
Get this: I'm sitting in my easy chair in a crispy-cold room with sweat literally rolling down my arms... all I'm doing is watching moto-cross video's. PTSS- FUN!
I'm hurting for those guys,

there ended up being maybe 6-8 kiters out at once. very gusty. Mostly 9/10 meter kites. I didnt go out, just helped out. Never been a big fan of storm kiting although it is fun once you are already out there. Even more fun when you are home and dry in front of the heater with your woman. but thats debatable to say on a kiting forum. :)
