Day 12 of the 2015 season: Metro Beach - Snowkite - Sneaker session with endless, bottomless, wind blown powder

Endless Powder


Highlight of the day:  Quiet and smooth, no ice carving today.
Down wind runs in wind blown powder.
TOW:  2:00-4:00 (2:00 hour)
Gear:  11M and Burton Hero
Water Conditions: Wind blown bottomless powder
Weather:   25+ degrees and  bluebird day  
Wind:  up to 18 MPH from the WSW - just enough
Schooled:   Parking the kite and doing a down wind slalom and working on opposite toe side.

Got lucky with the light breezes - just enough to make it work.
Craig showed up around 3 but by then the breeze was lightening up and by 4 it was quitting time.
Sounds like the midnight riders got a good session in from midnight to 3:30 AM. With reports of several kiters getting
out and enjoying a full moonlit session.
