Utah Windriders Association

Busted out of work a little early and went to Pineview. The winds were gusting from 5 up to 15. It was a little sketchy keeping the kite airborne when the wind would drop but the sliding surface was primo. There was about 10 inches of blower Utah powder. I stayed till 6:00 when I couldn't see good enough to kite anymore. I experienced none of the dreaded bow inversions-I think the secret is to keep it inflated pretty hard (7psi) and ride with the kite at max angle of attack-the depower range is so great that it doesn't matter.
