It was great to get out on the water today! I really needed a fix!

Less sun but more people out today since it was the weekend.
I counted about 15 kites at the peak of the day.

| Good times seeing the usual suspects out yesterday but the quick realization of how out of shape I am was a harsh reality. Diet started today and hoping there is still time to not make Spring feel like a total cluster.

Wind turned on again this afternoon. About 4 of us had the whole river to ourselves, and I wasn't cold at all. This is the most amazing February I've seen in the 9 years we've been down here...

I was amazed it didn't feel that cold. Wore a 4/3, no hoodie and basically socks. Lost the bottom of my left foot after awhile but still so fun. Gman was killing it as he racked up month 85.  Yep....that's over 7 years of consist year round goodness.

| I'm in the market for booties as well and Nak seems pretty sold on the Atan "Hot Mistral" or the "Mistral" so trying to source those now. They're around $70.

You can probably find the Hot Mistrals here:
www.24-7boardsports.com
They are in England but the shipping was reasonable. Ask for the VAT (English tax) to be credited and they will do that.
I got the Madison's (3mm). Love them but my feet still get a bit cold. Had I known about the Hot Mistrals I would have gotten them instead.

Me and Brave went out yesterday for a little bit. Make sure you don't drop your kite like I did. That cold water really shrunk my boys, as well as all the air in my bladders, making it hard to relaunch/fly the kite very well. The wind wasn't very good either. It was like riding on a shit-wind day but much colder.
I'm still really glad I went out for a sesh, just make sure you use the buddy system and are bundled up well. I don't want to sound like an old grandma, just trying to save somebody from learning the hard way. I slept super well last night and was super stoked to have been able to kiteboard right out front! I just don't want anybody turning into a popsicle out there!
