Brighton on Summer Saturday

Fun afternoon for over 17 Miles in 2+ hours with a down be in the lake to finish. 80 degrees and dry fast flow. Worth the long drive! Torn shirt gets better everyday.

Saturday early AM back for more SE

2 more sessions on the 12 pivot and same repeat of 15-20 S-SE with rain drizzle through the whole morning. Just Tom and I out early and by 11am it was drifting to not sailable. Good to get up and get out for back to back days. Like the temps today too in the 70s'.

















Friday and it’s On at Metro with a SE breeze



Ok Friday it's SE and 15-20 with a 12m working after 3pm for a good couple of hours. 4 sessions and lots of smiles. Still SE here even when powered is never great or anything to get upset about missing.

Saturday we go to Pontiac to sweat it out!

Fast and dry follow up at Ponto to River Bends last night. Another 10.3 with tires a little soft - dust bowl fun requiring a bike shower after. Sun and 88 degrees. Still fun being all fat.

It’s Friday night - let’s ride the Bender

2 hot loops at RB which was dry and fast - PR fast. 10.6 miles at 7pm with 90 degrees.

Friday Caseville North!

Oak Pointe Wave Downie fun Friday in Caseville

Up at 6:15am on water at 6:50am for Sun and 70 degrees - just me and Larry on 7's. Thank god we were staying 1000 ft from beach! NNE winds 20-30 were perfect to make a downwinder after beating up to the Pointe on the Duke. Big long waves with classic smooth spacing of 50-75' gives this place the feeling you're in Hawaii. Up to 6' curling down the line - truly a special spot let only KP can get once every year (if you're lucky enough to be there!). The ride back was incredible as it was finally heelside back into the waves on the port tack. This difference made the downie back that much better! Over 2 hours on first of 4 sessions probably over 50 Miles if the watch tracking hasn't died! Top wave days of all time and now I'm sold on the Caseville drive over the Lex option on a North day. Waves here take top billing.

Forgot the 3rd Ride!

Late again at Bloomer on Tuesday night for a fast Gwinning Loop before Caseville. Dry and quick.

Day after 4th works in Caseville

14m and Duke off the breakwall with a SW 15-20 worked as a thermal this afternoon. Sun and 86 degrees and I was only one out with packed beach and super warm 80 degree water. Good day with the big kite!!! Luckily got off the water 30 minutes before the North squall and rain hit.
