Miller is no good when it clocks slightly South. I have less gusts @ Wolf Lake and the flatter water enables me to ride it better as well (hold a good edge)
I had a tough time on Saturday with the lulls and gusts @ Lake St.

Sorry, just got out and had my arse handed to me haha.. Definitely don't come Adrien is right when lake St has the slightest south Component it is bad. I enjoy the beating but when I can't keep her in the air anymore my kites don't deserve the Abuse.

Hope you getting it good at Wolf. If I wasn't such a woose when it come to nasty water, weeds and floaty crap I would come to wolf lol.
