82-- PV 17M

In between moving to new house,
I got a few rides at Pineview.
Nothing spectacular.

81--17M Deer Creek

They had good winds yesterday,
same basic pattern today.
Pretty light, nothing to impressive.
But saw the Utah crowd, it's been a while.

80--Willard 10M

80 days, looks like I'll be back on track for 100+, It's been a few years.

I started on the 11M, but quickly rigged down,
I rode the 135 Xenon which was nice in the small chop and swell,
went to the surfboard and enjoyed the slashing.
2 hour session, then back home to finish chores.
Wish every day was like that.
Half hour drive, couple hour session, then home quickly.
Sounds like Ray and Sophie's life!

79--PV 17M

The wind looked so good ,that I rigged my 11M.
Doug on his 13M
But when we put our kites up,
there was no power in the wind, crazy.
Rigged the Zephyr, and got some rides.
Later, we took Jim on his waverunner, up wind and launched him,
for a downwinder, and followed him on his seadoo.

78--11M Bear Lake

I saw that the Jackson crew was heading to Bear Lake, on Facebook.
So I contacted Doug and Vern, then the JH crew, and off we went.
We've been waiting a long time for a decent forecast, to head to BL.
The Jackson boys were there when we arrived.
We probably would have chosen a different launch than they did,
but it was nice, sandy side on conditions.
We were at the NE side, but not quite in the corner.
pretty puffy, and even drop your kite lulls, at first.
Then later, It filled in and was nice, but the chop was head on,
NOT what we were looking for.
Where were the big swells we remembered?
The JH crew took lots of photos.

Vern, Kyle





Marty launching 'em all



Doug, Marty, twintipn'



Surfboard!





Chaz, loopn'

77--ULLB 17M

I was working down south,
Kitequila at Windzup.
(Kitetequila=tequila and kiting, within 12 hour period)
demoed the 135 Zenon board,
after I knew I had enough power to ride smaller board.
It did well, but the 135 is not a light wind board.
Can't wait to ride it with the 11M.
and to try the bigger size Xenon's.
