Wind Speeds:

Six hour 18-23 knot session at First Encounter yesterday with Brad, Steve, and some of the locals. The 10AM low tide start required a long walk out to the water. Then one of the fins fell off my Mako 150(board was handling like crap and I thought I was drunk or hypothermic or something until I noticed water shooting up through the holes where the screws were supposed to be.) Two more long walks to get repaired and back on the water. About 3 PM I managed to get my board stuck on the bottom landing a jump and sprained my ankle so I took a little video of Steve and some of the locals:

It's so cool to see the video
It's so cool to see the video from the day! You got my first wobbly back roll attempt. I can see how I stalled about 3/4 way around. Thanks for posting Paul!
Ilya- I know the Slingshot Surf is old and outdated (like me) but I like it. I'm sure it wasn't a good board for P-Bay though.
I don't know the local that was doing the handlepass.

Brad, you missed my best
Brad, you missed my best crashes too! You were a kiteloop animal. Every time I looked over you were looping that 9M.
