a good day under the clouds

Tweaking out a mutant 360.

Monday was cloudy but very fun at Hookipa. I got to the beach late-ish (around 3pm) and rigged up a Panther ltd 5.0 for the session. While the waves were smaller than Sunday, it was a ton of fun; with the offshore wind, the waves were very clean and smooth.

The water buzzes with people anticipating the AWT event at the end of the month. And with Brawzhino, Camille, and Bouj planning to compete, the event should be really good as long as the conditions are decent.

Conditions, conditions, conditions. All else matters nought. What will the wind and wave gods give us for this contest? The forecast seems to indicate mediocre (or less) conditions but hopefully they’ll be good enough. Windguru is calling for the wind and waves to drop until the start of next week and the end of the contest window.

Windguru's predictions on the AWT contest conditions.

Speaking of the AWT contest, remember to cast your vote for me now in the AWT People’s Choice contest. The top 5 guys will be invited to enter a supersession at Hookipa. If I get in it, I can’t wait to bust some big moves in an uncrowded Hookipa. And I even have 2 never seen before moves that I would love to debut. Give me as many of your 10 votes as possible and get your friends to vote here http://americanwindsurfingtour.com/ . Spread the word– I can’t wait for some action.

Here are some shots that have surfaced from Sunday’s session. I like the colors in most of them.
