Tuesday, 6.20, Utah Lake Provo Beach, 6:00 to 9:00 pm

[Carl Christensen]

Worked all day, came home and did the gentleman's session at UL. Launched off the little sailboat ramp into the mouth of the river and headed out to get some of the smoothest rides of the season until dark and a little beyond. One kiter in the forebay. Enough dependable push to ride my 9.0 outside which is almost 3m2 smaller than the 11.7 I used at Sulphur on Sunday, ( a fun day in it's own right but no where near the consistency of UL tonight). It's not that I mind the 11.7, it's a gas, but not once did I come off a plane today and the swell was, well, swell. Push off it, bank off it, jump off it or run in front of it. I chased sailboats on the horizon with 10 minute blasting, nonstop reaches out and back. It's all good and something you just don't generally get anywhere else around here. Warm as a bathtub too. Shortie optional for sure. John's brother is right, Mormon Maui.

Tomorrow looks even better. If the Provo airport hits 12 from the NW and Bluffdale sites hit double digits N by 5 or 6pm there's no way people should miss it. Call it a summer solstice, longest day of the year, pagan ritual sort of thing. And you can be a responsible working stiff all day to boot. If you go get out of the forebay into the lake proper for the best wind. Chip R? Alvin? John D? Sara? John F? Steve? DC crew? It's a big lake, plenty for everyone.
