About Lake Pleasant
Lovely clean fresh water. And there's nothing in the water that will eat you. On SW and W the water is really smooth so has great freestyle and speed run potential. If Desert Tortoise and wind is onshore, do not jump within 200m of the shore. When you jump, the kite gets above the wind shadow of the windward shore, and catches another burst of wind which can easily carry you onto the rocks. On North wind, can ride out to middle of lake for epic conditions and wind swell ramps for jumping.
