09/29 Lindon 7.0m, 82L board
Posted: Wed Sep 30, 2009 8:52 pmI got there about 4 pm to almost no wind. A couple kiters barely getting their 16s to fly. It started to come in about 4:15 so I rigged a 7. By the time I got on the water it was ripping!
18-25 with nice swell. I held onto the 7.0 for 3 hours. Big jumps and nice turns. I should have rigged down to a 6.0, but it wasn't too bad and I planed the ENTIRE time.
Raced a couple jet skis. Clocked about 35 mph.
Brad and Rod showed up for the last hour.
My hands feel like a day at the Gorge. Ripped blisters and worn out skin. YES! You gotta love Utah lake on a big day.
However, it sounds like I should have made the trip to MM19 for some small sail action! I also felt like an old geezer with all of the kites at Lindon. There must have been at least 15 of them out. Man they get BIG AIR!

The wind was great and the waves were HUGE. Helped pull a fellow kiter out of some trouble down around the corner-- he had the wrong board and couldn't get back up wind and into the beach.
