The day after the big nor'easter. Once I got my drive way cleared I was able to catch a session at Milner Beach. With the ever persistence Craig.
Winds were side off, shifting and dropping in speed. We made it work, having a few good downwind runs thru the course of deep soft drifts. Then beating back upwind to do it again, when the wind cooperated.
Overall worth the rigging for this rare day. Hoping more to come.
Highlight of the day: Quiet and smooth, no ice carving today.
Enjoyable down wind runs in deep fresh powder.
TOW: 1:00-2:00 (1:00 hour)
Gear: 11M and Burton Hero
Water Conditions: Fresh powder up to 20 inches worth
Weather: 20+ degrees and bluebird day
Wind: 10-20 MPH from the NW - Light slightly offshore winds but Craig and I made it work
Schooled: Parking the kite and doing a down wind slalom - just like going down hill on a blue run.
