Today was my first kite session of 2009. The wind switched around North today and started to crank. Dave, Otto and I headed up to S-Turns. It was blowing about 20 knots. I rode my 12m Boss and my LF Quad in the foot to two-foot high waves. It was still a very fun couple hour session. Well, until the end where I was trying some front side airs when my lines went slack and then wrapped around the opposite side of the bar sending the kite into a death spiral.
The next think I know I’m getting pulled sideways across the beach, thinking it’s a good thing I wave a wetsuit on. Ok I was really thinking that when I looked down I saw my leash release and just went for it. I ditched the kite and it rolled twice and then landed safely in the sand. After that I called it a day.
