I don't suppose there is any beach to launch at Rooster? Looks like a nuker tomorrow.

The only beach is on the island. I got a good birds eye view from Crown Point today. If you hike through the bushes with your gear to the east - take a raft - get to the closest point to the island. Use your kite pump to inflate raft. Swim with your gear over to the island. Not really sure how strong the current is in between the island and the park........... follow plan a your own risk. I have not done it personally - so I am just speculating........... Smile

I think it was around this time last year when it blew easterly at HR, like 10knots. It was so weird to see kites out there pointing in the "wrong" direction.... didn’t have a big kite at the time so i could not partake

kind of hoping the same happens tomorrow Laughing but obviously with a big kite

Anyone thinking of heading to stevenson early? like 11am early? Wind already looking good.

I'm just not ready to take on a solo launch from that spot as my first session of the year, and can't make it in the afternoon.....

Beautiful day at Stevenson even if it wasn't the nuker that was forecast.

This guy might have had slightly less fun. (as captured on the Bob's Beach webcam)

I'm not married, but I've heard plenty about the demands from the "Wind widows."

"Honey, I'll be back in just 4 hours"...six hours later...
