I think the light onshores/rampy conditions preferred for boosting and landing airs are gaining favor. Just a guess, if so another case of something good for 1% of surfers being adopted by the other 99%Quote:

Don't get me wrong, I saw plenty of surfer able to drop in with the higher winds.....but I guess my little girlie muscles just don't have the power to push me down the face. It's really humiliating. (I'm not sure when my self esteem got caught up with my surfing, but it has.)
Mid to late Sunday the wind dropped to 5 off shore.....it was amazing......I caught everything I tried for.
So there's my 2 kook's worth :)
well if your surfing beaches you want stiff offshores to hold em up. points ill take light offshores. hell Ill take any offshore.Ill even take onshore and go kiteboarding.
So what you're saying is you just love you some wind?Quote:

I always prefer offshores, but light onshore isn't all that bad depending on where you are surfing. Light onshore can make a break that usually shuts down have a little more line on it, but just depends on where you are.
Agreed, some spots can be a little too deep but a slight onshore can give it a little more juice.Quote:
