    Jetty on Wednesday at 2. Expect high surf with some texture – bring your wetsuit just in case.

    Here is another article pointed out by Randy. This one is about burning fat. Perhaps not as convincing as the one posted by Mike but hey, if loosing weight helps utilizing the ‘other’ benefits, I’m all for […]

    OK, if this one doesn’t convince the significant, I will know something is REALLY wrong. Did I just pick up a new addiction?

    Point-to-point from Dunes to Kelly on Sunday at 11. Prediction is for semi glassy(ish) conditions. We’ll meet at Kelly parking at 10:40. This might still get canceled due to water quality concerns so stay tuned.

      A slight change in plans. We’ll meet at 11:30 tomorrow at the Kelly parking. Our water quality experts (John and Nicole) gave their OK, so it’s a go.

      Well, this was one of the best ones. From Roosevelt to Kelly, sunshine, mostly glassy, slight tail wind, happy landing.

    2:00 p.m. Wednesday the 18th. South wind texture predicted. A  good push back to the clubhouse. Last chance for good water for a while if the weather people are right!

    Jetty on Sunday at 11. Low swell but wind will compensate. Bring your sunscreen.

      OK, the sunscreen was somewhat optimistic but we did have the windchill so all was not lost! Lezlee and Nicole braved it. I needed no icepack after this one.

    Jetty on Friday at 2 pm. The swell will be fat with good wind-hug to help out. Prepare to not to swim if it’s too rough. You can still get hot chocolate for taking pictures.
    (NW 18mph /W 12.5 ft@15 sec)!
