The waiting lame in Lexington

Ok got in solid overpowered 5.4 for 1.5hrs after 4 hours of mist and missed 20-25 North forecast. Rain continuously appearing only over South Huron coast for the whole morning only to clear after 1pm. Had 4 huge jumps and couple nice waves but water was choppy and steep. Worth the drive and day off - just barely. Ill take though.

2 sport Lex classic. Sun, 70 and NE winds

On water before 8am - epic 3-6ft. smooth curling defined waves. Tons of East made it down the coast underpowered but excellent jumping and wave riding. Had first hour all alone with sun coming out of marine layer which disappeared by 11am with declining breeze. Time for kiting in waves! Light on inside but solid out. Got 3 hours in with no depower. Great day temps, sun, winds and great wave action. Kite saved day since I got nothing bigger than 5.4!

Oh by Gosh Oh Holly

iPhone dead and rain clouds split for a great 15.5 miles in 1:50 at Holly Grubbers. Tons of sand and 4 bar hits on trees but no damage with the sit at 3/4 setting. Really a good ride at 70 degrees and cool 100% humidity. 

Case closed! Caseville works for the NW blow.

Scored a great 4 hour sesh at Caseville Co. Park on Labor Day. Nice building NW winds to 25 by 5pm and great shallow sandy shoreline riding with little waves and building swell. Ideal spot even with near onshore conditions. 12m perfect kiting and even had to depower for the first time. Had some excellent sliding speed turns too with the kite down in the power zone. My best outing so far and seeing the wave potential for the soon arriving directional. Lastly, Craig and scored private beer tasting at Scott's new venture Thumb Brewery, opening next year. Great IPA, Stout and Porter! 14 hr. day out before 8am and home at 10pm.

Great Lex kite day

Friday afternoon 3 solid hours on the 12m. 75 degrees not a cloud in the sky and 12-18 NE with a tiny swell. Perfection in getting out especially since the windsurfing boys out were armed with 7.5M's.

Highland Sandy Hot Sunday

10.6 in 1:03 really sunny hot dusty fast. Pontiac uphills definitely pay well but you just got to watch out for the sand.

Addison Twice around. No Helmet no problem.

Forgot the skull bucket but that didn't slow me down after putting on an old Baseball hat. 12.9 miles in 1:23 in going around twice. Dry and fast with little humidity and 80 degrees. Nice ride and lots of flow when you know what's coming the second time around.

Highland High. Fast and "D" is Done.

2:03 for 14.7 miles of up/down/turn/slow down. Perfect temps and trail condition. Great tough ride and on a SingleSpeed, John is KOM. Highlight ride of season so far. D was really actually fun for once. This place is still a mind bender though.

HS week of Kiting closes on a NW at PSP loaded with big potential never to arrive.

Two final days on LTB. Good kiting on the 12 with 2-7pm thermal clear and blow. Great trip and while no sailing the kite filled the gap and provided a great medium wind alternative right out in front of our condo. Add a 16m and it would fill the whole week!

Boyne Orange Seat down

Super fast and flowy with a little moisture to add to the thrill. Great late afternoon ride all the way up the far south ridge and then into the Blue to Orange. Huge diseased tree loss on final half of ride really changes things up and brightens ride. Hope that doesn't spread to resort....
