65--9M,8M Rufus

After kitequila last night
things were a little slow getting started today.
9m on the Jimmy was a good call first thing today.
The 2 repairs on the strut aren't holding,
It was limp after the session
wish It had gone bad at home, I have a new strut at home...
Climbed in the van for a short nap.
After that Ray had his 8m RPM rigged and ready,
I rode the swell on the surfboard
and it was great time carving, slashing around.
RPM is fine, felt the heavier bar pressure,
and the non direct feel of the pully's.
But couldn't deter from the best session of the trip.

64--Rufus 11M 10M

Finally a day out of the corridor.
Rufus was great 11M for the early session.
Let a few kiters try my Edge,
of course, the loved it, maybe 2 sold.
Rode the 10M and the surfboard to the Wall for the 2nd session.
Not much swell, but good practice.
Kitequila at Ray's cabana.
Excelent

63--11M, 9M ES

Went for the 11M early,
of course it picked up,
but got some 5 story elevator rides,
before coming in to rig down to 9M.
Was planning on a surf session on the 9M
but again it ramped up, I didn't rig down,
but felt I would have been over juiced on the surfboard.
Rode the Jimmy to above Wells Island, LIT.
Fun tricks in the flatter water up there,
then ride the swell back to the sand bar.
Mark and I had shots at the Mexican restaurant,
I'm exhausted.
Hope to kite Rufus soon....

62--ES 11M

Still some monsoonal moisture messing with things.
We lucked into abut 2 hours of sunny good wind.
Started on the twin tip, and really enjoying the power,
tricks were fun, but really wanted surfboard time.
Once on the surfboard, it was nice to learn to slash some swell,
and work on some jibes, great time.
After getting tired on the different board,
and when it was time to come in,
the wind got thunderstorm flukey.
After that, everyone getting off the water,
was bitching about the shitty conditions.
Glad we got the best of it, really fun...

61--Event Site 10M

Good kiting in the corridor,
sand bar to hatch,
riding the small unorganized swell.

60-Jones Beach 9M

Went with the forecast, to the coast.
Disappointed at the lack of wind,
Mark and I left for an afternoon session at Jones Beach.
I though I had forgot how to kite,
but when I got back to the beach,
I realized that my center strut was deflated,
really mad the kite unresponsive.

59--SC 17M 11M

Getting to be more kiters at Sulphur,
calling it "fight Club"
first rule of fight club, there is no fight club,
second rule of fight club, it"it sucks up here"
unless you wait for it to get good.
It started light with rippn gusts, and drop your kite lulls,
Doug and I waited,
the others had to try, and were schloggn and dropping kites.
After a few sacrificed and left, it smoothed out,
and even picked up to 11M.
I had a self land almost go bad,
I need to re rig my kites to have the through the bar safety back on them.

58--17M 11M SC

Kinda thought we were going on a scenic drive. Arrived to light winds, and rigged big. Soon after we got on the water, it picked up good. We thought it was cloud based and stood around for a while, it continued so we rigged 11M and had a long very good session. No windsurfers, 5 kites total, alost a crowd

57-- 17M SC

Kitequila...
Tequila at Irvs's
kiting at Sulphur.
First time with big kite at SC,
northerly direction made it safe,
incase of lulls, but there weren't many.

56--DC 17M

Started at 2, done by 4:30
Very up and down.
Misfit, surfboard, Recoil, and new best board.
Wasn't ready for the day to be done.

55-- ULLB 17M

When we arrived, Mark was just ending his 11M session.
But the wind died off to less than Zephyr wind.
It finally came back up and gave us all good rides.
I rode the surfboard to exhaustion
Not the craziness that was there last Saturday.

54--7M, 9M SC

We rushed to willard cause 26-33 on the meter,
8-11 when we got there,, SKUNK.
So , off to Sulphur withe texts telling us it gusting to 56!!
Kenny was out when we got there, not really making it look to fun.
Rigged my 7M, but it wasn't quite enough. and 20M lines didn't help.
It slowly smoothed out as the day went on,
I had a pretty fun 9M session, the swell in the middle was great,
but didn't dare to stay out so far for long.
Reports said it may have been good 11M after 5:00??

Crazy Jerry had old wipika and went straight across,
then couldn't put kite down because he was carabinered in, and had no flagout on his kite.
So he just stood there waveing for help IDIOT,
After Kenny rescued him,
he came over and just argued with us about how good he was,
and that his gear is just fine.
The only kiter I know that was banned from the gorge.

53--13M Yuba

After a slow start in the morning.
we made it to the water for some 13M smoothies.
Then headed north and back to work
