8/16 Sulfur 5.8m 85L Yippee!
Posted: Sat Aug 17, 2019 7:57 amWow! As good as it gets at Sulfur! Full shore to shore reaches, strong gusts, consistent wind (I know... you think I'm pulling your leg...), warm water, sunny, no clouds, small boards... Started on a 5.8m, Ken on his 6.0 and Bob Clark on his 5.2. Ken and I started on 112L, and quickly went down to the 85L, Bob on his 96L. Sailed from about 1:00 until about 4:30, and had to leave some good wind, as all of us were gassed. 3 kiters joined in and seemed to be enjoying the ride! 5.2 was probably the best call, but the amazing thing... Ken only rigged 1 sail (I don't think he has ever done that before). Hopefully today will yield similar results, however if you plan to go to Sulfur, the road construction around Echo Junction is a cluster, plan ahead!
