Charlie,
Join the club at OB on Sat.?

Looks like today could be good for Alameda a little later with any luck. Tomorrow should be game on for OB and coast. I think Charlito is probably still in Idaho for the holiday...

[Pablito]

Driving on I-80 today to Alameda through 60 miles of crazed shopper traffic -- now that's scary!

See you at OB tomorrow... Should I bring my wife's 6M?

Well, they really "blew" that forecast.

Actual wind was NW 10-25 KT

These guys can forecast temperature and rain well enough, but their wind forecast is a joke. (I've been playing this game for 20 years now).

Well, they were off course a bit today, but the wind still came through at OB. 10s and 12s from 1 until a bit before sundown.

Needed to be careful though, getting to the water with all those mountainboarders and their kites dodging peds along the water's edge. :mrgreen:
I'd say we kiters educated several hundred members of the general public about our sport today, without negative incident. =D>
