The Excursion seats 8 and I've had 16 boards in the trailer with sails, masts, and booms. Worth bringing any fins over 30 cm? I'll preorder a size 38 hammock in red.

Wow that's huge....the 30cm fin not the size 38 red hammock! Biggest fin I've ever used on the speedstrip is a 26 with a 6.3 sail, not sure you'll need much more than that.

Looks like it's blowing like a MOFO at Pyramid lake right now... Hope someone is there to take advantage of this storm...

Regarding ARooBar, any preliminary forecast for this coming Friday and Saturday?

After watching the PWA (LIVE!) in Noumea, some of us are really pumped in getting back into speedos... O. Smile

Pyramid Lake was good for few mild speed runs before wind turned North and made it into perfect side shore wave spot. I did some big swell surfing and jumping with slalom gear before it got too cold. Nice speedwavebumpandjump session. Denis was late for the party and decided to skip wave sailing this time. It was cloudy, no sun today, so quite cold.

Forecast for Thursday is shaping up nicely to give thanks for speed. Tides are spot on with a dawn to noon session and gusts to 35/40 mph. Good way to work up an appetite for a Thanksgiving dinner with a 40 knot cherry on top! Vive le speedos!
