I can get out around 4. Will check Wildwood first in NW wind. Gusts look insane.

Baskin,

I was going to try and show up around 430 but it looks like the wind is forecast to drop off fast. I'll probably have to postpone it til next time. Have fun, be safe if you go.

it didn't drop at all, David. Scott Hafner, Steve Erikson, Rick and myself started riding just around 3 PM, and had a good session till 5:30 PM. There were a lot of holes. Steve was on 5.9, Scott was on 5.3, Rick was on 5.7, and I was on a 6.7 Neilpryde Saber with a 115 lbs MS-Syncro. It was rocking at times and I was certainly overpowered.

It was a good early Spring session, but now I am very tired. The wind, water, and the sun got to me. Time to relax and hope to do it again on Thursday. By the way, can we schedule these on Saturday and Sunday instead of the middle of the week? Just started a new job here, maybe I get a break. It's hard to get away you know ;)...

Hope to see you all next time!
