A full day of rain in east winds but big waves pays off in Lexington

Drove up to Lexington on Wadhams road a new way up that save time and got me to the beach by 2 o'clock. Arrive to find dead winds and Craig, Tom and Keith sitting around talking about how the wind it just died. By 3 PM it's game on. When's now blowing out of the East 15 to 20 and I'm rigging the 12 m to follow Keith out. Waves galore clean faces and good spacing and 3 to 5 foot curling beauties. Lots to learn in the math of slacking the lines and carving tight turns to keep the kite powered up while rolling down the faces. Great three hours of practice I don't like Huron even though it was raining all day lots of smiles and beers to drink. Winds peak around 30+ at 5 PM so the last hour is real fun as the rain keeps coming down waves are building in the day is coming to an end. Another worthwhile Lex drive and truly interesting East wave session.
