DC 2 PM Puffs in the
8.5/16M range.

Should have paid more attention to Craig. An 8.5 would definitely have been better than my 7.5, which got me up to IB but then, with the wind rapidly backed off, left me slogging (and later limping home) as Carl flew past on his Formula gear. 2 or 3 kiters at DCBB.

great graphs. what would it take to bring those on-line? maybe the UWA can support that. anyone?

i'm impressed at your efficiency. i need to practice that myself.

interesting that the barometric pressure didn't drop so much.

As far as efficiency goes, nobody beats the Queen of DC, Judy Collins. During a recent session, Paul Bradshaw and I were using 7.5s, and Judy had no difficulty keeping up with us with her 6.0 and a Fanatic board that I sold her at least a decade ago.
