Dude, it doesn't work like that. You go, you kite, you hang with your buds, meet new folks. Like, after an afternoon session by around 6 I was sitting with friends watching Slacker and the usual suspects throwing down, and some guy in white tries to sneak onto the water dragging his board over the driftwood like it's a sorry afterthought. And then Aaron starts busting moves, and Lenten comes out, and kites were smacking and boards were flashing and the bodies were spinning and the light was good and the newbs were gaping and the water was raining down from the kites above and IT WAS HUUUUUUUUUUGE.

So, I might come back Saturday. I want to try a backroll.

PS. Slacker had the move that made me jump up and holler

Oh man, I need to get out there! Would anyone in the Eastbay be willing to carpool? I'll split the gas money!

Ollie, you're the man! And although it sounds like your efforts may be going in a different direction, know we appreciate everything you do and have done.


Maui Mike, you have a heart of gold to feed that many people for free. Somehow this will come back to you in a good way.

Thanks

Thank you Slingshot, Maui Mike, Sonny, and other helpers for BBQ-it was yummy!! I always appreciate your great BBQ! You made so MANY people very happy!

Ollie, Slav, and others who helped for a great sound & visual! It's a bit sad to see all that big events go, but I am sure you'll enjoy your time more without worries! Great work!

Let's hope for good windy weekends to come!

Thanks to Ollie for this great event, to Sonny and Maui Mike, the bbq was the perfect ending to a powered 10 meter session, and to all the pros throwing down for us. I would love to see pics from the Shawn Richman boat ramp session, that was sick!

I don't want to take any credit for the bbq, I had very little to do with it except Maui Mike was gracious enough to let me use part of his grill.
