05/11 DC Barbed-wire Beach DCBB 15M-12M

[Don Losee]

Great session! But short. Barbed-wire Beach (DCBB) is a beautiful launch, 200 meters by 75 meters of grassy, flowery fun at the turn off of Highway 189 north to Highway 113, Charleston Utah. The launch is surrounded by Barbwire. Jake, Spencer, Tyler and I hit it today. Wind turned on and filled in at 12:10, and lasted about three hours, blowing 20 mph. Solid. Great fun. This launch is much cleaner than last years spot. No mud on the kite. That is a good thing.

A 6.6m^2 sail also worked pretty well until it really started to back off. I presume that by "hit it" you don't mean the barbed wire. Good thing the old Charleston farmer who used to lease that land isn't around anymore; he ran me off there more than once in the old days.
