Didn't think it was possible to have a decent kite session on a small inland lake with hills surrounding it. Tried to windsurf with my new Ezzy 5.7 and100 liter board but the wind was not consistent at the water's level. Up higher it was surprisingly steady. I've snow kited here with success in the winter but didn't think the summer winds would allow kiting.
Great fun in the shallow flat water kite boarding, Plenty of freestyle tricks WS and a strenuous quickie upwind SUP session at Empire Beach
