Perfect day for 3 mile. School bus size swell for sure.

Get there if you can and if you can handle it. HAHAH Shocked

My read is gusty up and down so I'm sitting this one out.
I was hoping it would settle out a bit this eve but the trend
is not looking too good. I've been busy machining the wake-
skate so that's keeping me occupied -could be wrong, though.
-sure someone's riding the boxcars.

Here's an on site report from Iwindsurf:

1:31 PM: Gusty 3.7 wind and minimal swell isn't keeping
anyone from throwing big aerials. It's fun but crowded-20 cars
here. 3mile onsiter says more wind here. Temira


Seriously, Arlington is a death wish launch. Kiters should go
to Roosevelt or 3 mile.

Devil wind at rufus. I lasted about 10 minutes on my 7 and surfboard. The gusts woulda been Ok if it weren't for the lulls...
But this guy was making it look fun.

I thought I was killing it in the swells at Arlington yesterday (yes 2 mirrors, Smile I launched from Rosie side) until Shawn & Jessie Richman and a bunch or their Maui local buds schooled us in swell riding.

Sweet session.
