Huge storm smashed the coast in WA on Friday morning. Wind range was from 10-50 knots. Here are a few shots from the day.

There was some insane fronts rolling through so much uplift happening.

I was on 20M lines and just throwing the kite as far to my left as possible without looping. It made boosting easy. Lucky I had the La Luz for landings though. I also set the Vegas to its fastest setting which gave a heap of de-power.

When I got home the seabreeze graph for Garden Island had a few spikes over 40 knots so that was one of them.

The pressure in the kite was f**cked. I felt really confident with the Vegas though.

Fronts in Perth normally come from the NW in Winter so It was so nice to have the flat side with such power.
