Not a bad afternoon at Sulphur Creek. wind was generally 15-20mph, a little up and down but not bad. Had a nice couple of hours on the 14m, good power to overpowered until the wind faded around 5:30 and i was happy to make it back to shore. Water was perfectly comfortable in a 3mm suit. Lynn came with me, and Marty and another kiter i didn't recognize made the trip as well. Looked like marty was on a 13. Unfortunately, my 10m kite exploded just sitting on the grass. :(( not sure what happened since it wasn't too hot there - low 80's. A bummer overall and it kept lynn from getting a good session in. she ended up going out on a the 7m, which really wasn't enough kite.....

Doug and I windsurfed for the first hour,
bored to pieces, (no offence, personal preference)

We rigged the kites for some typical Sulphur, gusty BS.

Great WNW direction, if things would have died,
we would have at least been on the south side of the reservoir.

30% chance of thunderstorms, never came around, very unusual.
