Sat, 06/20/2009 - 20:29
I need to be in Hull Sunday for family gathering. Hope to get onto North end of Nantasket Beach by about 4pm, should be quite windy, 8-10m weather maybe. If any intermed/advanced riders looking for something to do locally it should be a nice session. I am hoping to ride downwind length of Beach at some point. Unfortuntely I will be offline startin Sun am but if you are headed to Hull please post your plans anyways.....I will try and park at XYZ street off far end of Nantasket Rd..
I am off work next week and Mon and Tues look great for Cape kiting.

Made it out at Nantasket
Made it out at Nantasket about 4pm and caught the last hour of 35mphish wind that had been wblowing for hours by that point. I grew up on this beach but never kited it before. It was nice, almost directly onshore and with the break spanning about 100 yds out from shore at low/mid tide. Waves somewhat windblown. Nemesis rides waves better with onshore wind compared with sideshore. Caught some great air with my smallest kite (8m) of fthe lips of waves, landing back on them farther downwind recatching th ebreak, love that felling.
Mon looks great, thinking of the Cut at Chatham......

We wanted to go there
Hull would have been so much fun... too bad we were on the Cape, but we had killer sessions down there too. Good to hear you got out there Robert!!
@ Skyrocket
I am a wave/kitesurfer too. We should hang out. Do you also like beer?
Never kited Duxbury but hear its good. I need to stay in Hull because of family gathering but should be good wind at most spots today.....sounds like some other masskiters will be going to Hull so I hope they stay on water past 4pm. I was in Hull last Monday and there were real nice curling waves at N end of beach and also some tube formation closer to S end. With N to NE winds there will be lots of uneven break but should be good anyways. With Low pressure off coast next few days the waves should build. Thinking that Le Count Hollow in Wellfleet or the Cut in Chatham may be nice Mon and Tues, I've kited Cut before and break is far offshore but nice.....just remember to stay away from the locals (lol).
