Day 69 of the 2016 season: A real dawn patrol at Metro Beach

Arriving at Metro Beach with starry skies at 7 a.m. I rigged up the 11M Z1 at first light and launched at 7:45 a.m. Sunrise was at 8:01 a.m.
The forecast was for decent SW winds until 11 then tapering off.  Forecast was practically spot on.
Chris, Mark and I were first on the water and by 9:30 I counted 13 kiters on the water.

The earlier birds caught the winds

TOW:   7:45 - 9:30
Gear:     11 M Z1 and TT
Water Conditions:  small chop inside with some bigger swell off the shoal
Weather:  beauty of an October morning - 60ish
Wind:   SW 10-20
Highlights:  fun session watching the sun rise, tremendous jumps, and playing in some nice swell off the point in the shoal area with Chris.
