The 2011 Pismo Beach KiteXpo ended on a high note as the predicted wind showed up at the event site today. Despite a gloomy and windless morning, the wind filled in around 1 pm and riders were able to hit the water on 9-12m kites.
Of course, as soon as the 2010 Pismo Beach KiteXpo was done, the wind turned back on.
The 2010 Pismo Beach KiteXpo concluded today and, unfortunately, the wind never showed up as forecasted. Despite the lack of wind, the event was a success, with tons of kiteboarders from throughout California coming down to the beach to check out the latest kiteboarding gear from all of the manufacturers here.
Despite a promising morning, the wind never showed up today at the 2010 Pismo Beach KiteXpo. The marine layer moved in today and kept the weather at the beach cool and cloudy. Hopes are high for tomorrow’s promising forecast to deliver.
Well, there was no wind today at the first day of the 2010 Pismo Beach KiteXpo, but that didn’t stop all of the participants who came out to check out all of the latest gear on the beach. The weather was beautiful here today…
