4th Annual KiteXPO May 19 -21, 2006 - Pismo Beach

[Pablito]

Anyone know how the wind has been down in Pismo? My brother in San Diego says they've been socked in marine layer for 2 weeks, no wind but great surf.

I was like, "Hey man, that's OUR marine layer you've got down there." Like Charlie said, the NPH has pushed it further south than usual.

dudeeeeeeeeee i want a VW Golf TDI, but they don't make them anymore ;(((

anyway see you guys at the expo.

Tons of used ones around!

Chip just scored a great and swanky 87 MBZ Turbo Diesel Wagon which is pretty trick all around I must say. He is getting in on the biodiesel revolution as well.

San Diego is too far south to gauge what the wind is doing on the Central Coast. Typically, if its blowing at C Street, we're getting better wind up here and if it's blowing in the Bay area, we're getting similar conditions....
I haven't been to Pismo in a few weeks but it's been good at Morro Bay/Cayucos area. We've been getting fog last few days which has been burning off. One day no wind but it was like 80 degrees or something. Last two days light winds. Before that, wind was cranking....
