Day 64 of the 2017 season: Two days worth of medicore, minimal sessions at Frankfort

Day one at Frankfort Beach, Friday 10/20:
Craig and I met at Frankfort beach for a day of kiteboarding, conditions looked good so we rigged our 9s and went out. Rode for less than an hour before the wind lightened up.
We hung around, waiting, but the wind never came back up.

TOW:  1 hour 1:30-2:30
Gear:  9M Z kite and TT Board
Water conditions:  some waves, 2-4 footers, clean on the inside but also spotty winds. Further out the wind was steadier.
Wind: South 12-25 mph
Weather: Bluebird day, another mid-60s October day
Highlights: Played on the inside for awhile, not crowded but the wind was sketchy, still managed to get some rides on the clean inside swell.



Relive this session 


Day two at Frankfort Beach, Saturday 10/21: 
Identical to day one, Craig and I went with the forecast which was decent. But again the wind blew for an hour before dying off.

TOW:  1 hour  2:30-3:30
Gear:  9M Z kite and TT Board
Water conditions:  some waves, 2-4 footers, clean on the inside but also spotty winds. The harbor had stronger winds with slick conditions
Wind: South 12-25 mph
Weather: Bluebird day, another mid-60s October day
Highlights: spent most of the time riding in the harbor where it was windier
