yuri, just don't wear booties. Rode HMB harbor for the first time yesterday. Now talk about a sweet spot in SE winds. That was fun. It wasn't even that cold. Never thought I would say it, but SPI was colder.......

I was thinking while out on the water, colder winter kiting pretty much only brings out the more experienced kiters so unlike a spring or early summer day at Alameda
Funny Ollie - I was out on the water thinking how it was as crowded as a summer day only a few years back... your correct about the experience level though, only the hard core adventure out in winter - and justifiably so.

Yuri - Lose the boots the "sensation" of warm shower water hitting cold feet is worth it! :shock:

Hey Ramsey, Good seeing you at Pillar Point, I have to say that was the warmest it's ever been at HBM on a SE wind HAH! I love that spot but it is usually 20 degrees colder and usually even raining!

Thats the problem, I cant feel anything hitting my feet in the shower and it hurts to swallow.

I was at SPI week earlier and it was very warm. It just depends on north wind or south wind.

Yesterday was one of the best HMB days ever, I was riding my 10m Octane.

So it looks like i had the coldest ever days in SPI and the warmest ever day in HMB. hmmmm.....go figure.

We did have one South wind day and SPI and it may have been one of the best kiting days ever.
