5/29 Rush 13 Fuel

First time on the water with the 13
I know the kite is better than it felt,
from the day I used Jeff's 13
Maybe the 5th line gives it a better feel?
The butter flat water by the island,
was better to hold an edge when overpowered
Kinda wish I had the Hein on instead of the Debaser
It was better when I used the Hein later.
What a gusty SOB of a day
4 sessions, each a little more filled in.
Steve, from the Gorge was there.

5/24 ULSSB

Sounds like a repeat of Mon. I was on 16 M torch, SX132 had all I wanted. Same group of kiters out. Absent were DOUG VERN MARTY. Launch is a bit dicy, could be gone in a week. Honey do's today. Hope for week end wind. some one posted "do you know what day comes after two windless days? MONDAY" how true.

5/23 ULSSB 16.5

6:30-9:00
nice to be back in the steady wind
almost overpowered
glass spot behind the weeds fun,
but not the best wind angle
got to crowded when everyone got on the water
they need to go to rush for some smoother water
