I stopped by Strawberry River to check out the scene. The wind was blowing, but not as much as I wanted. So after waiting around for a while, I headed down to Chicken Creek where the wind was definitely stronger and more consistent (which I guess is due to the W in it today?). I managed to dink around a little on my 11M Instinct near the parking lot until the wind started to really pick up. I was nicely lit for about 2 hours and really enjoyed cruising around the hills to the west. I shared the stoke with a few other kiters in the hills until my legs finally gave out and I had to call it quits. All in all, it was a great introduction to Chicken Creek. I was happy the snow was soft enough to use the Twisted board and that I didn't have to use the skis. That board is sick behind a kite!
Billy - maybe I'll join you guys on your down-winder next time. How did it go??
