My buddy and i where at Black Butte Lake yesterday and it rocked like no other. We where lit on 9 meter kites the wind was 15-25 gust to 30 temp was 84, sand beaches, i thought i was in Mexico.Go to the north side of the lake [ Buckhorn entrance] on this side of the lake on a north wind, the wind will blow off shore so you will have flat water riding. One great aspect of flat water is that for my banged up knees its the best. Also it was real easy to set up a good edge for huge air and if you where able to find a great gust you could go to the moon, not to mention 10 ft before you land you could crank down on your bar for a mock five landing in smooth water. When the north wind blows i will see you at Black Butte Lake. " Dangerous Dan" |

Located west of Corning california 15 miles. If there is going to be a north wind in the Sacramento area it will be lit at Black Butte Lake. Check Corning's weather yesterday 84 plus degrees, North wind always blows best at Black Butte Lake. I have friends that live in Corning and they always are complaining about the north wind. I have been trying to get them to kite for years for the wind is right in there backyard. The one thing i can say is if you are a nube do not kite here for the wind is offshore go to the south side of the lake. On the other hand if you have a couple of cars do a 5 mile down winder and you will be in for a real treat. |

See how it says, "iWINDSURF.com" in the address bar? this here forum is for windsurfing, which still doesn't include kiteboarding. Go find ikitesurf.com and post there, someone might know what you're talking about. |
