I saw the crew come thru about 4:30 from the North on the 13 C- fuel and bows. I was on a 12 Crossbow and lit at lassing. 13 gusting to 30, decided not to lanch and save it for another day as I was solo and the winds where just to squirly Where did you guys end up?

Did the water ever fill in at Lassing? I was there from 9am - 12:30pm on 9m and it was really low. Still rideable though and very flat and fast. Also walked over the sandbar to ride some of the bay waves.

So another group rode down from Gandy in the afternoon? Was it the same people that did it in the morning? I thought about going out again in the afternoon but I thought the weather was going to get worse. Oh and b/c I took a nap - how lame!!!

Water did fill in, you could get over the Bar. a couple of the guys that came down shot in and out on their way past.

Thats great for a 13 meter C kite, especially when everyone else was on 9 and 11 bows.

is that your 07 fuel?


definately an awsome kite, im trying to find a 9m to go with my 11m...

i probably could have held down more now that i think about it since i never did pull in any 5th line....

definately has an amazing range for a ckite (18-30 or so)

and the loops are awsome on 22m lines.....

SW was about as good as it gets as far as im concerned. 20 - 25, and flat. Gotta love this buffet of wind, and its not over yet.
