thanks colby for the photos!
been light/moderate so far, but plenty of riding on the 11m and 127cm Hein. Rode first day for 3 hours and yesterday for 3x1.5 seshs, ended with a downwinder in the waves. Today looks like more of the same then stronger winds this weekend. I'd be fine with 6 more days of what we've had so far though: hot, steady wind, and lots of butter.

Ahhhhh...Texas.
looks wonderful, I gotta get back...
Have some margaritas at the Wanna Wanna for me, and say hi to the cockroaches.. 
If you see a guy who looks like Kelly Slater riding a fish strapless with Torches or Fuels in the waves, tell him Jake says hi.

Ok, 3, 1.5 hr sessions and wanting 6 days more; Phil is officially off my sympathy for injury list.
Love the "bubble wake" shot. |

God damnit, its 8am and its already blowing 20+ and 72 degrees outside. And here I thought I was going to be able to VPN in to work and check some email this morning... oh well I guess a 9m downwinder sesh in the waves will have to do.

Looks like Holly was on today.
I stayed in the surf and did
14 miles downwind. Strapless
airs are getting higher.
Easterlies are fun for going
left if you're goofy.
5-9 in my avatar is working
great and can take the drops
I'm making with my strapless
air. No heel dents. Solid.
Oh, how I wish I could show you
the construction. Epoxy strength
and weight. PuPe flex and feel
but with a livelier rebound.
A breakthrough. |

Holly was awesome, lit 9m all day, we got video proof too... Our downwinder this morning was cool too but I ain't goofy so it was a little tough.
Hein - where can I hook up a demo on the surfboard? |
