Best Rufus swell ever!!
Bus size from side to side.
I'll never be the same, life changer.
Quite the workout, only had one session in me.
The surfboard in that, is the real deal.
Slashing and carving like in my dreams.
Not quite blown off the water,
but really would have been sweet on a smaller kite.
The forecast is lighter wind Thursday, yeah!

51-Rufus 7M
LIT,,,BIG SWELL, all day long.
These are the days that keep me thinking Gorge all winter long,
and make me want to return and just camp at Rufus and never leave.
I don't know if I can sleep tonight, I'm so wound up, yet exhausted.
Jon, Roy and I headed up to the Wall for the early session.
Then Jake joined in the afternoon, and back to the Wall we went.
Such big swell, it was easy to loose sight of any one else out there.
EAsy to ride the swell from the wall all the way back to Rufus,
then head back up wind, and do it again.
Sounds like we get to do it again tomorow.
Strong winds for days, the swell could be the best ever.
I need a 5-6 M kite..... REO? ,, probably..

50--Rufus 7M
Super Rufus day.
Surfboard sessions in big swell.
Fires on the hill, made for a hard to breathe day.
Everyone got off the water with dry throat and headaches.
But soo worth it.
Jake joined us for the fun, kitequila.

49---Rufus 11M
Later than yesterday,
Very smooth start, then the front passed.
The last half was gusty, then nasty.
The forecast is looking promising!

Only 1 day kiting at home since the last Gorge trip.
It was blow drier smooth wind, later in the day.
great for tricks and transitions.
excellent Tai and tequila at shangRayla, afterwords,
with Ray's mum and her John, ha.

47--Sulphur 11M,17M
Saturdays in the Summer at Sulphur,
is a great way to beat the heat.
The wind came in looking strong and very consistent,
with a friendly northerly cant to it.
I got a few rides before it turned to its normal southerly, gusty stuff.
hung out watching Doug and Jim windsurf schlog.
Doug convinced me I should take windsurf gear,
I did, it was great ballast in my van...
I rigged big for the second session, nothing great.
Jim came with his jetski.
He rigged his Zephyr for the first time and took off to dying wind.
I rode the ski out to retrieve him.
