Lucky Peak Reservoir Barclybay

Join yahoo group to learn more or boise kiteboarders facebook. This spot never gets predicted correctly by any of the forecasters as its a pure morning thermal. Typically the locals check the sensor at 5am and make a decision or not to head here. The setup for this is to look at Boise airport sensor and if its forecasted for any kind of easterly then check to see if its going to be a cloudy or sunny day. Lastly if the night was cold with a sunny day coming up you should have a nuking day. The Launch: This spot is not for the faint of heart as its not a friendly beginner launch there is all kinds of swirling winds and very little room for error. Typically people will body drag out past the dock to cleaner wind. Never ever leave your kite at noon here as the swirling winds could shift and drop it out of the sky.

The Ride: This can be truly one of the best spots in Idaho to ride as the wind comes up through the summer often. During the summer months you can average 4~5 rideable days a week. With Foiling that increases to 20~25 days a month.
