91--17M SPI

After a much needed day off yesterday,
it was a good, powered, Zephyr wind for our last day here.
7 of 8 days, most were good wind days.
Early, lighter wind today, so
I put the head to head test of the Xenon and Misfit to task.
The Misfit only won out in the lightest of winds, but amazingly,
only by a little bit.
Laluz has so much more pop and "fun factor"
To many weeds, to have fun on the surfboard,
I only did a couple of tacks, and switched.
We had a great time here, but it's time to be home.

90--11M SPI

We nailed it early because of the lightening forecast.
Finally rode the surfboard,
yesterdays nuker must have cleaned out the weeds.
Fun to hit the jibes fast with a downloop for speed.
Rode the twin for a little while, nailed front roll, perfectly.
I should have worked on them more.

89--7M SPI

The storm came through strong.
We waited most of the day
for the nasty gusty to calm down.
Late afternoon gave up 2 strong sessions.
We kited till almost sunset.
Yahoo...

88--17M SPI

We knew it would happen at least one day,
The Zephyr was the only kite staying up wind.

87--7M, 10M SPI

Off shore on the gulf, so
Ripping 7M at the flats for hours,
then lighter wind for the afternoon session.
Gotta get on the surfboard soon,
even if the weeds are bad at the flats.

86--10M c4 SPI

After yesterdays marathon day,
we decided to pace ourselves for the rest of the week.
The winds were 28-35 most of the day.
The gulf looked to be a washing machine,
didn't see one kite out there today.
We stayed in the flats.
We took Jim to the south flats and Vern followed him downwind,
to meet at the south flats,
for his first session staying up wind.
Getting the feel for the C4, lots of fun flying it today.
More toeside backrolls, one nice one, most pretty rough.
Having hard time getting pop on toeside.
Kitequila!

85--11M SPI

Kiteqila at its best.
Party last night,
but felt good enough for over 4 solid hours on the water.
(2 sessions)
New stuff today,,, toeside backrolls.
Landed some, not pretty, crashed on more.
The Xenon Laluz is turning into my favorite all time board,
Vern said the same, very versatile, on all fronts.
Top day.
I see downwinders in our near future.

84--11M PV

Not quite as windy as the last PV day,
but still a very fun afternoon.
One of those great timing days.
Someone got me stoned before I launched.
I liked it..

83--11M PV

Pineview gave up one of the good ones today.
Powered 11M all afternoon.
WE rigged at Cemetery point, North.
It's In the wind sooner than at Middle Inlet.
Wish the water was this low all year.
Very good day.
Xenon 135 is perfect for powered PV.
And the super light weight make it great for packing in.
