 Wed Dec 03, 08 11:55 am RR expression session |
 |

Well, I don't know how expressive it will be, but I'm headed out in 1/2 hr for a sail. . .
Senors has been showing increasing east winds. Last reading was east 14, so probably good 9m bow/12m c wind right now.
Tomorrow and later this evening sounds like it will be liquid smoke time.
Come get some. . .will post water level later.  |

sounds fun as long as you don't ends up expressing regret.
If its too nuked out, give Gene, Choocj or Stringy a call. They have the unicorn and are scouting out new locations. |

What??? I think you got that backwards. I ride a 5m C when the
herd is on 9M bows. |

No Hein, I got it right. . . Slither and Kitetele were on their 9m rev's and I was on a 12m C, besides, you use some type of special pulley setup I believe on your kites and you don't like bigger kites anyways.
Wind was good, water was out just past the wooden pylons, so plenty of beach to setup, launch and land. It was even sunny out there, too. Water is pretty cold right now.
Go get some. |

Glad you got some Sasquatch! The wind wasn't full of holes? Damn, I should have run out there!  Tomorrow. (Probably full of holes by then.  ) BTW, water temp is 51 degrees... |

| True. Pulley bar does make the small C's more powerful. I do quite a bit of looping so that keeps the kite speed up. Lift is proportional to the square of the velocity. You should try a smaller C with less sheeting and see how it goes. Rider weight and the board you are riding makes a huge difference too. Glad you had a good session. |
