Lucky non forecast wind - Lincoln Beach Saturday - July 30th

Surprise Saturday Session.

I was working most of the day when I saw the Bluffdale meter jump up from the North. I suspected in might happen so I kept my eye on the reports.

Headed down with Bim, & Kenny. Brought the start board to mess around on and get Kenny some rides.

We sailed out to the rollers and tried getting the board to plane down them.

After some time the wind picked up enough I was able to switch down to the 100 liter and play for a while.

Schloged in and out of the marina but as soon as I cleared the jetty there were no issues with planning in the swell.

I love the swell down at Lincoln Beach, great rigging area, warm water, and afternoon / evening wind.

Great jibe sequence! I hoping Kenny was able to duck under the foot of the sail when it passed over the nose of the board!!
