Day 9 of the 2016 season: Back in Michigan for the home opener, 13M session saver

First time on the water in almost 2 months - felt some soreness the day after.
Felt comfortable with new 13M Z kite, it performed well excellent boost although bar pressure was on the high side, or maybe just weaker arms from lack of kiting.  I used the 13M kite once on the snow where it felt very similar to the 11M Z.  I can say the same for water use very similar to the 11M Z with the exception of boost.
Big crew out, about 10-15 kiters on big foils, 17M down to 12Ms.





















Gear: 13 M Z kite and 150 TT board
TOW:  1.5 hours from 5:30 - 7:00
Surface Conditions: Fairly smooth water surface enough wind up
high to make it a decent 13M day.
Weather: Mostly cloudy upper 40s
Wind: Mainly SSE Lite breeze on the water but up higher there
was enough.
Highlights: It was good to see all the crew back at it
