I know descriptions can get become embellished over time, but already by 5 this afternoon it was being called the windiest day pretty much ever.
Here's the link.

Crazy winds at 3rd:
"70-foot fishing boat that rammed into the span Tuesday as a result of gale-force winds at about the same time that a big-rig truck blew over in the eastbound direction as a result of the high wind"

the video shows perfectly why one should not go out in these winds as noone has real fun like on a good 20-25 knot day. All are at their limits, overpowered, hard time to get any edge before a jump, pulled up just by the kite powered and not by loading something into it.
I for my part rather wait for the good days and enjoy my riding than to proof that it is possible. I also dont want to add a 4 m kite to my library for the 1-2 days per year...
Still crazy, G

i think it's funny that coyote was gusting to 60 and ramsey decides not to go out on his smallest kite....now that's hard core....

I was hoping to see someone jump the bridge...
Seeing that poor bird was a bummer, reminded me of a Canadian Goose that flew into the base ball net here in Alameda.. Unlucky bugger hung there by it's neck for months...
Tear down the WALLS!
