Is there anything worse than turning up at the beach to see it blowing a good solid 20 knots and other people out there enjoying it, then you rig up and dive your kite for the first time and think why am I not planing only to realise the a*se has just dropped out of the wind. I've been the victim of this twice in the last 3 weeks, " not happy Jan ". I am starting to think mother nature has a problem with me.
This is what you do. Set up the biggest kite you`ve got, like a 16m or something. And for sure the wind will pick up like crazy. I`ve had to learn to ride my 14m in 25knts+ because of this.
