So what do you guys do on the beach while waiting for the wind?

PS: beer drinking is not an activity it is a necessity.

If I think the wind is going to build. I pump up and have a snooze under the canapy. I know it's windy enough when the canapy starts flapping and wakes me up!

The wind arrives at exactly 2pm every afternoon, why would you go down earlier and wait for it?
