Great session at Lincoln today/tonight. COLD air COLD water, and the wind was late in coming.. peter and i showed up around 130, rigged, waited it out.. glass until about 415, wind came up around 430 enough to get peters 16 waroo and my 17 contra 3 up, then it really came in. 7 or 8 kites up, most people on 13/14m. overpowered on the 17 and the 145X44 crazyfly board, great session!

Just got my core temp to normal. Fun stuff but my hands were trashed by sundown. A couple of the South Sandy crew paid us a visit. Caught a couple of surfable waves upwind at the point. Maybe a drysuit on the next visit. Good times!

Chilly!! I lasted a little more than an hour before the hands went. I was reasonably warm otherwise. So what's the ticket for hands? Dry gloves?

They make closed palm but my hands have always stayed warm with the open palmed and you can slide your whole hand out the opening when you need to use your fingers.

I use wetsuit gloves and they work great.
