Sunday 2/21
Fri, 02/19/2010 - 12:26
Sunday looks to be the windier of the two weekend days, although maybe a degree or 2 colder than Saturday. Looking to go out on the North Shore, and would love some company.
Wingaersheek and Dog beach seem to be the best options in the NW but with the water being 33 degrees i would rather not have any interaction with the Annisquam river riptide and waves up in Gloucester. So i was thinking of Dog.
Whose with me?

On the inside
On the inside, Dux works on a W-NW. Its gusty though but that's pretty standard for a NW wind.

"no"
can you get a ticket? i dunno. but the locals have asked that everyone be "legal" if you go to kite there, to prevent future issues. plus, you don't wanna be that guy.

Theyre never there in the
Theyre never there in the winter though. But yeah your right if they are then You probly need a sticker. The harbor master guys have never given me any crap though in the winter. But I think its because I have duxbury dragons plate covers and a duxlax sticker so maybe its cuz im a local.

Yea. I am looking to throw up my 11m waroo. and have my fingers crossed to inflate my 9m convert..maybe with a surf board as the day goes on.
I made a promise to myself and the kite gods that i wouldn't inflate my 15m until the summer. (its like flying a school bus)

Will be talking to sam in the am but assuming wind is up will plan on getting to chapin by 10am if not earlier. would be nice to be on the water by 10.
Dave, I am trying to do the same thing with my 15m but tomorrow will really test my 11.5m.
If anyone wants to touch base in the am text me at 508 728 7840
otherwise I'll see you there!

you dont drive to chapin for
you dont drive to chapin for a northwest in the afternoon.NW on the cape is always morning. Ikite surf is always wrong here I only use them as a rough estimate. I've kited three mornings in a row and lit till noon with a decline as the heat of the day cancels out the wind.

Is that really the correct address? I looked on google maps and it's directly in the river inlet. What about the long beach in the west?
(Never been in winga, probably going today)

No go
Wingaersheek is a no go today! the wind is all over the place and now has shifted and cape looks promissing today is one of those days of 50/50 either score an awesome sesh or nothing..
But north shore is out for me at the moment!
Chapin is 17MPH right now not bad!
Not sure what to do!

Only the wind!
Just check and winga is blowing 24 right don't get it...
The last time i was in Dux there was a lot of current, made for interesting up/downwind movement.
Nahant has a significantly greater distance for the wind to even out over, much more than the inlet width at Dux. Should make for more even pressure in the W/NW direction.
Still looking for some company.
