"Up with the Sun and Gone with the Wind"





Day 14 for the 2013 season - Metro Beach 6-2-2013 Sunday.

Not quite dawn patrol but nevertheless an early morning session got me what I wanted.
Steady pre-frontal winds from the WSW estimated from 15-30 made for another perfect 5.5 day.
During the 15 mph lulls you could easily catch a down slope of a wave and keep the planning going.
Non-stop action from 9:30 - 12:00.
Easy to get on a plane and stay planning due to the nice organized swell.
Sail sizes for the day were 7.0 down to 5.5.


Sail Time: 2.5 hours non-stop from 9:30-12:00
Gear: 5.5 with 100 liter board
Conditions: Well organized swell to keep the planning going
Weather: Sunny Air 70s water 70s.
Wind:  SW-W to 30 mph pre-frontal winds.
Schooled: Jibing off the wave faces and riding the swell in.
