Default rode in lake seminole today:)

i was at a friends today who lives on lake seminole, with a pretty big grassy area in his back yard.. and i noticed it was pretty windy today behind his house
so i decided to try it

it worked ALOT better than i thought it would.

very gusty... but managable. could stay upwind fine. and mostly pretty litt. jumps were insane.. gust then another gust then another and up up up you go

pretty sick.. i will have pictures soon.

And best of all, fresh water

I've been wanting to ride there for a long time... just haven't gotten around to it.

Only problem would be if you ever had to swim in! Swimming into a grassy swampy area would be a little scary.

Clean is not a word I'd use to describe lake seminole.

nah, i rode at the north end, cause thats where my friend lives, he has a nice grassy area in his back yard. just hoped off his dock. yeah that lake isn't very clean, but the fresh water was amazing. when i put my shirt back on NO ITCHY FEELING it was great. also my eyes didn't burn! lol

it was pretty sick. i was litt up most of the time.. the gusts were fine with bow kites. gotta love em. and jumps siiick when at the right time.. sometimes i'd jump when it lulls and not get very high.. but on the good jumps i'd go upppp then UPPP then shoot up some more then come down with a lil gust softly.

i haven't seen the pictures my friend got yet, but they should be good, he should hopefully send them to me soon.

it was good enough i'd do it again sometime..

i've always wanted to but was always thinking.. why kite there and possibly be shitty when i can go to a normal beach and ride clean wind. so i never did. but i was at a friends house and not doing anything so decided to try it. and was worth it.
