shoulda hit casino...it was every bit 18ft!!

[jensmadwind]

wow, casino must have looked like this then



Up zion way we had 5+ hours of downwinders in chest to head high waves, once around the waukegan power plant the waves got smaller but super clean, offering up as many turns as your legs could handle. 10m then 8 should have been 8 then 6.Side on then becoming side shore steady wind. My centerline swivel hit me in the face right off the bat giving me a nice black eye but after that everything was great. We traded Ben for Ivo for the second downwinder and ripped down the best stretch of downwindable shoreline this side of the lake for a north wind.

i meant 18 foot between the waves which is just huge!! "middles" front of the pump station was bigger than that pic ya? cmon pier back me up here!!! litttle windblown on outside but inside, front of the boulders was super charged vert hits, making aerials easy to get up and outtttt! good sino day for sure.
