I'm hoping to get up there again on Thu. The rollers outside the break were awesome
& want to give them another try. C U/H2O

Are you guys riding in dry suits still at Duluth, or would a 3/2 wetsuit suffice? with booties, hood and mitts?

a 3/2 would be fine.. the booties, gloves and hood would be overkill.

It is looking like Thursday will be the day. I may make some schedule adjustments to get up there for another fix.

Mike: I hate you.
(which means that I am simply envious that I can't go on Thursday, and why can't it blow on Friday, instead.)

Let's try this instead:
Mike: I hope it blows crazy good - Have a great time!

[Stroh]

looks like it starting to pick up now those waves should be nice by tomorow

I'm going to head out there for an evening sesh if it picks up another 2 knots.

I road in a shorty 3/2 wet suit and was fine all day today. In the midday I would wear just shorts. But remember its Lake Superior and that could change in a matter of hours.

[Geo]

I don't know why I do this to myself:
It's blowing 22 right now. Looks like good wind forecast through 3pm. Of course, it's raining.

[Randy]

It should make for an epic day. It's my anniversary.

Here now, winds 15-20, 4 ft rollers, partly sunny, will be nice. Come and play

Another beauty in Duluth today. Almost a carbon copy of last Saturday. Winds were stronger in the morning for the early shift, but a few of us enjoyed some nice terrain this afternoon. My daughter, Emily, snapped a couple of shots.

random duluth clips over the past few trips this year, nothing fancy, but classic duluth except for Mike on the 17m speed!
