Great Day! .... for kiting
If your choice of wind weapons is to tea bag from a kite, today would have been an epic day for you here on Maui. Light trades in the 15 mph range. As an devout non-kiter, I was pretty underpowered though. Absolutely beautiful day here on Maui other than that though. Sunny and warm.
In today's board test, I demo'd a Quatro 100 liter freestyle/freestyle wave board. I would have thought with a 5.8 I could have gotten going on that, but even when the sensor was reporting 17, I was slogging. I planed once for about 20 feet. The latest Windsport says this board planes up super early and easy. Well I guess my 180 lbs and the 15-17 mph didn't match their testing conditions. So far, I like the 90 liter RRD Freestyle Wave the best to replace my big board. Will have to give that one another demo.
Looks like trades will drop off tomorrow as another cold front pushes the high out of the way. Saturday they're saying north winds then shifting to moderate trades after that.
