| Man... It died... 9mph now... hopefully it will pick up later as I'm headed out around 1PM... I might just fly the kite a bit if it never picks up... I need to get some kind of fly time before my trip... I haven't been since August last year! Last year work and family prohibited me to ride as much as I would have liked to... Trying to change that this year... as I suck and need more time on the water big time.

Besides just watching the wind, there is lots of rain with a storm coming through... not the best day but might be rideable at some point:

Doppler is showing rain all the way out to Rufus, never a good sign. Hopefully it clears up this afternoon.

Hard Up- If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand the answer.
