windest day in Utah

Postby Mike Egan » Thu Aug 06, 2009 8:12 pm

Left for mm19 around 10:30 with Provo reading 23 to 29. Got there to Manny on a 5.4 and not moving to fast. The wind was out of the south east or I should say east south east. It died, then clocked around to south west and built. I started on a 5.2 and big board (117 liters). I went from under powered to well powered in a hour or less. Droped down to the 80 liter wave board and kept the 5.2. That lasted for awhile and then had to move down to the 4.6, never got that right. Rigged it to full in the beginning and quickly gutted it and I was still op, I just stayed on it. Then all hell broke lose extremely op on the 4.6 sent me home. I had a 4.0 but would have been over on that and I was tried and my broken toe had enongh. Left with two guys on the water 3.5 and small boards. They looked op to. What a strange day for August? :)))

I knew leaving MM19 would be a good sacrifice ;)
I should have stayed but was just too busy... The road cost me a new oil pan. I must have hit a rock just right!... $600 :(
