I think this was only my second session this season at SSB. booties, gloves, hood, drysuit. 41 degrees when i arrived at 3:30 and 38 degrees when we left. well powered most of the time on the 10m Rise. winds were low 20's for the first hour and tapered to mid-high teens over the last hour. Same as Todd, warmth wasn't a problem except for my hands, maybe i'll invest in a pair of dry gloves next year (mystic makes some that look good for $60 or so). great fun ripping high speed S turns in buttersmoothe alley. had the kite come unhooked once, which popped out of my hands and snapped my leash. took about 15 mins to get that all sorted out. Otherwise a pretty good session. A good chance that'll be my final water appearance in northern UT this year.
