(Since this post many of the usual suspects have been cackling with anticipation. Scott is excited (shocking!) Jeff wants to arrive early enough to stretch properly (he's thinking 10a)...his dream is "launching fully juiced on a 4.2 & 77L wave board by 30kt side-shore winds off of 8' waves." Frank has the lesson we learned from Fisherman echoing in his head, saying "We will NOT leave prematurely if we think the wind dies! (I'm with you, Frank) Christian is eager for the opportunity to pay dues, and Mr. Ford looks forward (rhymes) to a great sesh!)
Where is that forecast for? This is what I see in this morning's coastal waters forecast from NOAA:
SAT
E WINDS 20 TO 25 KT WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 KT...INCREASING TO 25 TO 30 KT WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 KT LATE. SEAS 4 TO 6 FT... BUILDING TO 6 TO 8 FT IN THE AFTERNOON. A CHANCE OF RAIN IN THE AFTERNOON.

I CAN CONFIRM JEFF TRIED 3 BACK LOOPS & OVER ROTATED ON EACH ONE! WHAT A DAY AT THE BOWL!!

Yes it was fun day at the bowl,with plenty of wind,increasing wind swell,big air,and virtually no shorebreak,and an incredibly large group of windsurfers rippin it up but hardly was it one of the best bowl days ever. Great fun but not all-time. I would, however, like to see some etiquette shown by some of the guys from up the island. Some kook with a blue and yellow simmer sail, wearing a freakin PFD, blatantly dropped in and almost hit me and later pinched me big time going out through the surf. No apology, no nuthin. Come on fellas, let's learn how to behave when you come out east. Peace, BB

Bill, for what it's worth I heard someone on the beach saying they'd dropped in on someone unintentionally, they didn't know who, and they felt bad about it.
