Arrived at 4:00 to nice wind.
Rigged the 11M, but quickly rigged down.
At times the 9M was very lit, it blew most off the water.
After a break we all went back out to a very nice smooth sunset session.
Rush is Plush!

31--11M Rush
Rush is Plush,
What a great after work session till sunset.
Kinda funny that the chatter on UWA is that it never blows late a Rush,
Then we go out and make em eat crow.
Smooth SE all evening.
Most of the crowd stayed in front of the launch, and had less than perfect wind,
and they left early?
Some of us went upwind to get the clean flow and long reaches.
It just got smoother and stronger as the evening progressed
until it almost blew us off the water as it got dark.
Saweeeeet

30--7M SPI
Bonus!! High wind day.
What a way to end the trip.
With a tear in my 10, and the Edge looking to big
I rigged 7, and got lucky, it ramped up to be nicely powered session.

25--SPI 11M, 17M
Jason and I thought hard about a gulf downwinder,
But the NE direction, turned yesterday's wind swell
Into a washing machine looking mess.
So off to the flats we went.
Not bad 11M wind.
Second session was lighter Zephyr wind.
Then a surfboard session.
Rusty, but still made almost all my vibes.

24--SPI 17M
Not the the greatist wind, off shore, for sure.
But the up side is we got to kite on the first day here!
The forecast looks like better wind as the week goes by.
Looking forward to some waves in the gulf.

23--Lake Creek 17M
With all the good snow down low this year,
we haven't made as many sled trips to kite the high country.
The snow at Lake Creek was Feb like Pow.
It was so deep, that we had to rig a size bigger, just to pull us through it.
The usual half pipes, are so full of snow, they are now just depressions.
The spots that usually have windblown hardpack, were covered with feet of new fluff.
Perfect for practicing some new moves, because the crashes were like landing in cotton balls.
The storm broke just as we arrived, then moved back in, reminding us to take a lunch break,
then cleared for the late afternoon session, then moved back in as it was time to pack up for home.
I bought a new Never Summer Legacy 170
It may be the best board, water, or snow, that I have ever had on my feet.
The length is wonderful, the camber, rocker combination,
make it so it feels effortless to ride, yet so responsive, I'm in love.
