I'm only counting it because I traveled so far. I rigged and rode, just barely. Forecast looks weak, guess we"ll head home early. Thanks Jon, Jason, Mo, for the good times. Thanks Jim for the use of the condo.
The early session was great powered 11M. Landing some forwards with speed. Kiteloop transitions coming along. We had great time taking turns in Butter Cove. Jon bought celebratory Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia. We had shots and dinner with Jim and Tracy.
What a day. Took a Doyle clinic. Worked on lots of things today. Forward Rolls, Air transitions, backroll transitions w/loop. I'm stoked..Can't wait to get back on the water.
Got the late afternoon north wind session after flights in. Jason, Jon and myself were the only kiters out. The locals have a week of good wind. Now tequila and dinner.
Early morning treat. Started half depowered, it was so strong. It's so shallow that it never built much swell. No more than if it was light wind. Not very cold, but wore full battle gear, and was toasty. 85 degrees in SPI next week sounds pretty nice Still a fun but kinda short day. Got to work by 1:00
Classic Pineview fall blow. Been waiting long for this wind. Rode from Stringtown up to Windsurf beach. Talked Bob into downwinder back to Stringtown. Les followed. Best wind was off cemetery point. Was wishing I was on my 11M. Great day, just wish it was more predictable, and would blow this strong more often. Graig calls it the Lowe effect, classic.
