It did blow all day long! i showed up at 5:00 to an empty beach and rode for 2 and a half hours. started on my 13M and changed out during the last hour to my 9M. the wind was surprisingly good. the gusts just seemed to be ramps- it'd blow 25 for 10 minutes or so and then drop off for 10 minutes or so with none of the squirelyness that usually comes with a south in the evening.
a side note for self launching techniques: i hot launched the first time as i didn't want to play with the moss and drift launch. well, with the gusts it was a bit hotter than i wanted and went for a bit of a slide. the next time i launched, i used the car launch- place your kite at the edge of the window hooked up to a biner on your car. this worked well, and this is the 3rd time i've used this launch at rush with no problems. just thought i'd throw that experience out there. hot launches are sexy on the beach, butdepending on the power and gustyness of the wind at the time of the launch a car might be the better option.

Instead of making a killing on 22 seconds of sponsorship I would like to look at it from the perspective that this is a way that I can
report on whats been happening visually to the community also putting a plan into place where we can have t-shirts sweatshirts
Also my company gave over $300 dollars in awards at the Years video night. Also my company American Bodies will donate part of the t-shirt sales to
the Utah Windriders Association. Long range I believe this is a good plan. Also last Year American Bodies Donated a sign for Deer Creek.
I would hope you would think that I have been a servant to the community. Rather than making a killing off 22 second of sponsorship.
