Session 31 of the 2018 season: Pinconning - 4 hours of drive time for ugly conditions

TOB: 2:30-4:00
Gear:  11M Z1 and 13M Z with TT   
Surface conditions:  flat water 
Wind:  ENE 10-20 
Weather:  cloudy, cool 53 degrees and sprinkles

Highlights:
What we, (Craig, John and I) thought was going to be a downwinder didn’t happen. Untrustworthy marginal winds, 10-20 from the ENE just wasn’t enough.
John and I started on 12 and 11 meter kites. Eventually I rigged my 13 meter and with an uptick in wind speed it worked out.
I was able to work on my reverse toeside riding/carving without lack of power.
Rain, gray skies, brown water and a cool 53°. And 4 hours of drive time....ugg.
