It wasn't exactly epic but I rode my own little field today.

The launch. Waiting for a squall...


The very short ride, with one turn at the bottom or it's into the pond.


The hill from the bottom


Tough going uphill in the sticky deep, so loop it.


Squall power!


End of the ride. 5.5 a little over sheeted


I'm sure others got it much better. But they had to drive.

Was kinda crappy actually. The snow was cement. The wind was great, plenty powered on an 11m 07 waroo. I even went into the slushy water a little.

Nice Hein! And everybody grabbin some snowkite rides! I want to try it so bad. Of course I picked this week to be on the coast. Good news is I've grabbed a couple pretty good sessions. 13m Saturday and today. Saturday was a lot warmer. Today my fingers got pretty cold.

The newly improved estuary gives up about a 500yd butter run on these SW days. Pretty awesome. Sand cliffs are fun too.

I was trying out my new SX 136. What a smooth ride! Thanks for the recommendation Ben, I think I am going to love this board!

Thumb's Up

Fun Pics!


And way to go Slither Thumb's Up

Missed the wind at the snowbar - some shots right before it turned off - the Dogs had fun. Did see Tucker and Adam get a kite launched just before a snow squall blew in Laughing
