I remember a day last year with 711skwerl in the 16' sylvan Winds kicked up out of the north with 3 -5 footers. We couldnt keep the lines in the releases on the riggers so we just ran some flat lines with a couple sticks and still picked up a couple LL. After an hour we had enough and rode the rollers back to the canal. It was pretty cold that day as well. Just be safe and know your limits to the conditions. P.S make sure your brakes are good going down to the launch its pretty steep. Give us a report when you get back.
