Short session at Lahontan Reservoir. There was no shortage of wind, but sun was short lived and it turned really cold really fast. Down to 30's on the way home, and snowing.

Sailed with F2 SX M board, 6.2 EVO I sail and Tectonics Falcon 32 fin. Water is still too cold, so 105 ltr volume was needed to minimize swimming time. This combo felt like it has no limit to top speed, just wish there was more flat water. Never out of control except for few times when wind just ripped the sail and board right out of my hands and sent it flying down wind. I was able to catch it and improve my fast swimming skills in the process.

Nice session at Lahontan, right before winter storm. Wind was around 20 knots with gusts probably up to 35-40, kinda shifty and gusty, but I was lucky to catch really good gust when wind was changing derection.

Pyramid lake was crazy today and wind wasn't even off-shore...

Syncro 104, Koncept 5.8, Select S09 Caspar 29cm.

Great speeds. Must have been plenty of wind and a straight track without sharp turns or steep inclines. Stoked the boilers and filled the water tanks.

Nice speed Denis!

Just checked weather history for today on NOAA web site and they show wind 30 knots gusting to over 50 at 2:45 to 3:00pm. I think your wind meter blew up and never recovered after checking wind speed at Pyramid.
