The kite race went off at 12:30 with about 20 participants. Good success. Crazy weather though. They got a total white out squall at the start of race two and the tide was so high there was no beach. I’m not sure who the winner is but it was a cool afternoon.
Wednesday 9:20.AM Its windy. SE isn’t usually a Pocomo direction but it should be doable at Bass Pt. I haven’t gotten the official word but my guess is something like start time at 2:30.
I’m going to check Tom Nevers now. Its going to be a good kitesurf day. Turns out that it was the best ocean day of the summer. Just awesome. I think I sailed for 3.5 hours before going over to the race. Great surf and wind.
Sunday August 10 : Bass Point : Due to an absolutely horrible forecast the race is cancelled for Sunday. We are going to shoot for Wednesday afternoon 8/13 as a replacement day. Hopefully we will get good conditions.
Interested participants should e-mail race director Posie Constable at posieconstable@gmail.com. If it looks like a good day she will put out an e-mail to the group telling the plan. Right now the offshore forecast is calling for SE 15-20. That isn’t a forecast I would bet the farm on but it could work out. SwellInfo.com says shoulder high and messy on Wednesday so perhaps we should switch it to a kitesurf comp.??
The Kiteboard event which is part of the Nantucket Race Week is coming up on Sunday August 10. There is a 1pm start time scheduled.
At this point it is too far out for a forecast.

Here is the report from the last time the race went down with good conditions. They were actually great conditions. When the elements align correctly a race event at Bass is awesome!
