looks like HMB was the place to be today.
Hope some of you guys got some wind to play with over there!

Rode HMB on my 10m this morning - started on the skim and ended pretty lit on the TT - fun day.

I went down to Alameda about 2:45 p.m. It was low tide (lots of mud flats), and the wind seemed marginal. There was one guy out doing some decent riding, though sining the kite occasionally, and two others who seemed to be struggling a bit more with sporadic rides. I decided not to go out.

In other words--y'all didn't miss much. :|

Alameda was light, but was able to stay up wind with a 14m and a door board. Defiantly fun though, less chop with that south wind.

It came back up after it died and we had a great session on 9's and 10's until it was nearly too dark to kite.

Thanks to Ron for getting this thread started and the heads-up for wind today!
