Great time had by all. Conditions were perfect, as usual, at Huntington Lake--75 degree air temp; nice beach; wind 12-18 all day; interesting layout. The day before I got to sail JDD's Blade for the first time and really enjoyed it.

I'm still learning how to fly my new Glaser kite--it seems to have a faster but much narrower sweet spot than my
