Utah Windriders Association

Kited until 8:40pm under starry skies and a full moon with the Oaxacan kite aficionado Salvador. What a surreal experience. Left the avenues at 5:30 and picked up Salvador on the way. We didn't hit the water until 7:00pm. You can see much better on the water than on land. Any light is reflected off the surface giving visible texture to the water. It was beautiful. We came off the water glowing. We'd still be there if the wind held out. Celebrated the evening with a 16 oz. natty light and a stick-o- jerky for the ride home.

I'm glad someone got it last night. I wanted to but with the kite feast we have been having down here I simply ran out of credits (I assume the wind addicted crowd knows what I mean). In the last 8 days that started on big Sat we had rideable winds on Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, off Thurs, and Friday then back on again Sat, and Sun. All the wonderful north with most of those days being good smaller kite days.

8:40 that was moonlight! I have been pushing that lack of light a bit lately as well but I have gotten off the water at 8:15 at the latest and I have been thinking that was pretty dark. So 8:40 was definitely night. I wish I had been there. I've had late sessions but never by a full moon. It sounds like an awesome experience.

P.S. It's been a fun group to ride with lately I'm glad your making it down these days.
