More wind than yesterday but still very gusty, up and down, and switching direction on a regular basis. The wind swinging from SW to NW resulted in a lot of chop. Duane Bush, Tim, Josh, George and Stone showed up. Everyone started on 5.6-6.0. I found the 112 to be too much for the chop and went to a little 86L race board which tamed the gusts and helped with the chop. By 4:00 everyone but me got wise to the increasing conditions and switched to 4.8-5.2 sails. We all went retro with Duane and Josh leaving the foils in the vehicles. 2 retro kiters were sailing from the north shore. Nice day to be out blasting around in 80 degree temps and tolerable water temp.

Sailing both the Gorge and Utah on my 8'2" HiTech and my 3 Starboards; Sonic 85L, S-Type 115L, and Carve 135L. Small quiver is Northwave, larger sails are Ezzy and Sailworks. Often in my white Odyssey but also in my wife's motor home.
