Day 27 of the 2016 season: Day 2 - Metro Beach thermals fire up on a hot and humid day


Nearly a Carbon Copy of yesterday:
It didn't look windy enough, not a whitecap in sight, but people were flying on 11-17 M kites.
Rigged my 11 and had a semi- solid 2 hour session. Toeside was nearly non-existing and carving more then one turn was tuff.. Jumps were ok but not quite like yesterday.
Overall not bad for a mid-80 degree day at the local launch. About 15-20 kiters showing up and enjoying the conditions.


Gear: 11 M Z kite and TT board
TOW: 3:00 - 4:30
Weather: mostly sunny and mid-80s inland, a cool mid 70s on the water.
Water:  choppy conditions
Wind: SSE generally, 15+ up high,  10-15 down low. very humid conditions kept the wind up high
Highlights: lofty conditions resulting good jumping
