Utah Windriders Association

Craig called it correct for Willard.
We were there on the water at 9 for 11M sesh,
Then picked up for 9M rides.
1:00 lull, then another 9M, should have been on 11M, session.
Me, Doug, the Jason's, and John L and Vern.

Snow on sat, H2O on Sun, Utah fun....

You forgot good ol' Vern! Glad the water season has started!

had a nice day at willard on the 8m and then the 10m, until i took a fall at the the end of the day as the wind was fading. took a few mins to relaunch the kite. on the first tack back i saw my board way upwind. tacked back and forth once, then couldn't see the board anymore. I came out and stood up on the bank, which is probably 8 ft above the water. The board was nowhere in site. Spent a half hour trying to spot it. Talked a guy with a boat into taking me out to look for it. No sign of it! It was my new lightwind board. Used it twice. wind has been S-SW overnight and today, so I'm gonna go walk the shore N of there, but i'm not too hopeful. Its a 2009 Crazyfly Allround 145x48. Let me know if you ever hear about someone finding one...

Really sucky,

That almost happened to me at Lindon last week as
I was trying to bodydrag with a drysuit and overhead swells. Lucky for me I had a partner.

Jason, don't give up hope. That Board can only end up on the North Jetty if someone else didn't already pick it up.
I'll bet if you walk that patiently you'll find your board. Wishing you good luck (and not too much board damage)

Well, no luck on finding the board today. spent the last few hours walking the NE shore at willard, threw my suit on and walked in the water b/c there's trees along the shore and didn't want to miss anything. Also walked about 3/4 mile out on the jetty/dike to where it turns, which was much farther west than i was kiting. Also had binocs to get a good look farther out.

I put a bunch of flyers up, maybe some good person will happen upon it and call me.

Happy to report that the board was found by a fisherman out on the lake. He called me this morning. woohooo!!!

Sweet!

Looks like the flyers paid off. Nice one.
