8/30 Pineview Stringtown

[lesvierra]

little wind, if you're interested read on.

Arrived at 1pm. Walked down to find Ken L with his kite in the air and a Jason, a new guy pumping up. Wind was for the most part on.

Ken had a couple of good reaches but couldnt stay up wind and came back in. Impressive considering this was the best conditions he's had on water, in less that great Pineview wind.

I called Hawaii Hank who is not adjusting to Utah wind well. His comments were, "Dude, kiting here is narely, narelier than 10 ft pounding waves and 30knot winds. I've snapped lines in the gusts, been drug on the beach, crashed my kite." He came out and had a couple powered reaches and a couple jumps and was done downwind.

Couldnt resist in less than promising wind, pumped up, had a few reaches, couldnt stay upwind. Winds just didnt want to make it happen.
