ULSSB 8/14 -- I've missed you so

Postby btjsfca » Thu Aug 14, 2008 10:57 pm

So, me and some guys got together to ride the chop n' slop at South Sandy Beach. Where were you? :mrgreen:

Drove up at 5 or 5:30 to a nice breeze and one kiter on the water with what looked like a huge Liquid Force (Havoc?) up. Rigged up with Billy, Arpi, Billy's friends Vicki and Dave, Jake, Mark J, Todd, and was that Dean? (Sorry if I forgot anyone). Lulled for a bit before sunset, but came back on for a mint sunset session under an early-rising (nearly) full moon. I'm pretty sure it doesn't get any better than SSB. A mess of well-powered kiters on 9 and 11 m Instincts and Waroos. A welcome end to a long streak of windless days and desperation kiting; I hope it means the start of the fall wind season.

Awards go out to Vicki for getting on the board and staying there. Second session! W00t!

Jake gets it for being the hardest-charging mothertrucker on the beach. I forget we've got, like, local pros, and stuff.

And finally, a warm how-do-ya-do going out to Billy "Why worry about a broken foot when you've got testicles like these?" Bordy. I think it's safe to say that we can rebuild him -- we have the technology.

Word on the beach was that it should blow even harder tomorrow. Go get some.

just read the entire flame wars between all you crazy wind starved adreneline freaks, and i'm glad you guys made up. its easy to get caught up in the drama online- i know from personal experience...


anyway, didn't kite last night due to a concert, but i'm heading out tonight- Justin- we live like .5 miles from each other and i'm game for carpooling if you are! my cell is 971-2380. i live three blocks from the 9th south onramp to i-15 and will be done with work today at 3:30 or 4:00. i miss south sandy beach and all its choppy goodness. lets go kite!

Damn, dude. Sounds awesome. Got plans with the lady for tonight, though. I'll keep your cell number and call you up the next time. You do the same: 801 664 8424.
