went to Tuba Tuesday, rigged 4.7 NAlu and JP 250 (8'2), planned right
off the beach,
yahoo!

But I kept running into wind holes, and when about half way to the wave
zone, I spent about 10 minutes down in the dead zone paddling and
swimming, thinking about options, consequences, and hypothermia. I am
very good at shlogging, hula and the ultra light waterstart. I just had
nothing at all to lean against.
and the water was COLD! I miss my Oasis suits.

When a little puff helped me up and back to the sand I found planning
wind again near shore, but I was spooked, and went in for a break.
Bottom line was that the wind just wasn't dependable. It was light and
puffy, even though it got me planning well about 75% of the time. I
played very close to shore for while, then headed home.
