Wind 270 at 24 G 31. When you hear this line on the wind phone postpone your appointments and proceed directly to Madequecham for some turns. Seriously, solid West with a decent swell is the best ocean conditions that Nantucket offers and Madequecham is where it goes off best.

Just such a satisfying day Monday was. Double session in the surf and it was really good both times. The lunch time session was solid 9s, consistent chest high surf and perfect side shore. The after work session was on super lit 12s at Tom Nevers, still solid surf and a little more side on. Probably should have rigged down in the afternoon. Super quality. Jeff and I just killed it.
Without a doubt this was another “Best Day Ever” in the surf. These were the best surfing sessions I have had. Its just about improving on the surf board and learning about the surfing part. Plus it helps to have super rippable surf to sail and we have been getting more and more decent ocean days recently, not to mention the recent run of solid North which was more about the North Shore mini surf than anything else. So when it comes all together with the optimal conditions you are able to surf all day and rack up tons of turns and not worry about any of the other stuff. Its really good.
I haven’t been this satisfied with kiting in a long time. Its Saturday and today is the first time I am really thinking about kiting since Monday. It hasn’t been a great week but there was some wind that could be chased. But I was still buzzing from Monday’s surf on Thursday. So it is really long lasting.
