Lincoln Beach Suckerfest, 6/18

[Jason Klein]

Arrived at 4:30 to 10mph winds with Jake and a newb already there waiting. after 40 mins and a few other arrivals, the wind came up a little, averaging about 12, so Mark and I decided to give it a try. Made about 3 reaches on my 15 waroo and big board before the wind tailed off. My kite eventually fell out of the sky and decided to take a long rest on the water. Got it relaunched once, only to have it drop again a few minutes later, and no amount of coaxing would get it off the water again. Luckily i could still touch bottom, so it wasn't too tough to make my way to shore. It was pretty close to dead calm when i left at 7:30. I wore a 3mm wetsuit, but it seemed like the water was plenty warm to go without at this point.

Also made a stop at SSB to see what that looked like. There is still basically no beach there, just a little alcove of sand that would be big enough to set up a kite, but you'd probably have to do a drift launch there.

DEFINITELY SUCKERFEST!

Newb here, learned how valuble it is to check that you are properly leashed up to bar.
Enjoyed a lovely swim across the bay after accidently opening chicken loop to notice my leash was hooked to my spreader. Noticed how quick others
are willing to stop and help poor newbs like me catch up with gear even if it means walking back to the beach themselves.
Thanks Mark I think.
