Tom and I headed over to the West side this weekend. We were joined by ryan, sam, Ashley and Britney. Ryan let us crash at his place which is about 5 miles south of Point Sable. We had 2 spectacular days on the water. Friday was NUKING tom went out on his 12m and was VERY litat point sable. the waves were over his head at points it was a great day.
The water was very cold. Both tom and I wore both our full and shorties. The air all three days was around 60-65. I didn’t ride fri.
Saturday was amazing. We got down to the beach around 11-11:30 and the wind just turned on as we got there. Tom and I put up the 18 and 16. This was my first time riding my 16m (thanx brent!) it was a blast she flew great.
Still need to figure out the hole 5th line thing. Tom and I had a good session on the bigger kites. Then the wind really turned on. We came in to pump up the smaller kites (13 and 12m). Then we did a short mile to mile and a half down winder. After we were done we headed to the dunes, which were a blast.
And then partied all night. Sunday was the my day for riding. I was well powered on my 16m tom was lit on his 18. I rode well and really figured out how get up wind. This came about after I lost my board and did a kiteloop 3 times and made it ¾ of the way to were we ended our down winder yesterday. Tom grabed my board I relaunched and then tom and I did our first up winder back part where everyone was camped out on the beach a mile or so up wind. We were pretty much frozen by the time we got all the way back up wind so we called it a day and packed our stuff and headed back home.
