Unfortunately not. Hopefully tomorrow.
Awesome that you caught a really big day here. Let's hope there will be more! |

From Plattsburgh NY. Somehow the swell did not equate to such huge wind but still excellent swell riding.

| Good idea. Bring your smallest stuff because if the forecast holds, it's going to be beyond nuclear for here. I'm expecting 3.0. It will probably be survival for me as my smallest is 3.5 and 80 ltr bo ... |

White's Beach would be the call.
People kite there, but a very good chance you will be solo. I think it's a sketchy launch with a Rocky beach and tree line very close to shore. I wouldn't want to sel ... |

| It's 4.0 and small board right now. Swell is decent. If it keeps blowing it will be awesome. |

| It'll be good at White's but I strongly suggest you just head over to P-burgh. The swell runs a lot better at P-burgh basically right off the beach. There's great swell that you can get to from White' ... |

Looks like VT shore due to SSW wind direction.
Lars
