Sept 4 Upwinder

Postby BradHuber » Wed Sep 05, 2012 12:12 am

I arrived at the beach around 6 to see lots of kites on the beach and none on the water. Pretty soon several ventured out for a very light wind session.

I took my Zephyr and raceboard and sailed all the way upwind to mud lake/Provo bay. The wind kind of shutdown and after 20+ minutes of trying to relaunch my kite, I rolled it up and walked out from the rocky point between the bay and the rest of Utah Lake. It ended up being about a mile and a half walk before Jake was kind enough to pick me up and give me a ride.

The most exciting part of it all was trying to retrieve the gear that I had left at the lake side. I encountered two bulls and a herd of water buffalo. One of the water buffalo stared me down from about 25 feet away. Scary!

Anyway that was the first time that I've done an Upwinder and got stuck before :).
