8 years, what a youngster. And dude, you're a MRSA survivor - that which don't kill ya makes ya stronger!
The southwesterlies will come and you know you'll be back for more butter... :)

No results yet, and I'm not at work tomorrow. Decided to extend my 3 day vacation a bit to get some time at 3rd. I'll definitely post when I get them.

LMG, would love to share a session with you. I'm in China at the moment (7th time since thanksgiving) but will be back Sunday. After that, I would be up for an A4 sess. Hope all is well. I wasn't sure if you stopped kiting for real or not a while back. My assumption is confirmed, its in your blood.

Ron-
I'm just play'n, I dont intend to ever ride the ponds again, it's ALL yours brother-
Truth is I did get a light case of the creepy-cruds/night sweats when I rode there with you guys years ago. (I have an auto-immune disease, my OWN immune system is slowly killing itself)
But THANKS for the INVITE!!
7x in China this year!! Thank GOD its your job and not mine, one deep breath of all that air pollution and I'd probably be in restraints at the Emergency Room (freaking the fuck out) VERY UN-Fun...
Take care,
G'

yeah, well 8 years at 3rd, doesn't mean I only did 8 years of watersport, maybe I am not from here around ;-)

I wish I could believe that I am stronger now, but I think my body was loosing that battle back then, and the antibiotics were doing the fighting ;-)

i don't know what kind of water test we are talking about - there is no water at the pond. only liquid by-products from the sewer treatment plant, plus the chemical run offs from the heavy metal recycling plant next door. not much mercury, but plenty of antimony, arsenic, bismuth, cadmium, etc. traces of selenium and beryllium for a good measure.

Really? Treated Sewage is in every part of the bay we swim in diluted crap daily!
Here is the San Mateo and west bay sewage treatment plants map! The outfall from all 5 treatment plants are directly upwind of third ave in an area with minimal pacific current flow!
http://www.co.sanmateo.ca.us/planning/g ... ewater.pdf
Compare that to the outfall from 1 oakland/north east bay plant all the way by Yerba Buena ISl and in a channel with pacific tidal current.(Zoom in on interactive map)
