Went out too

Sick wind. Stayed out to "take" the second squall, it hit FAST. Nice hour of rocken with the Reli Man at Woodies 1st bay.

I ate an inversion on one jump, kinda cool, the thing bowtied and looped and looped and looped, hit the water, fixed itself...no sweat, but a pain in the ass. I really would like to move the kite fast without having it explode on me.

Kite stability still needs improvement....but definately felt safe the whole time Too gusty I thought........so happy to get out.

Gota dry out the little baby now

Today reminded me of why I love this sport, almost alone in the wet and wild...still had to watch out that I didn't crash in the PR.

How bloody good was it????

STOKED! Now I can return to the study sated.

Gotta love a Halo and Converse combo in onshore madness.

Much kudos also to Stirling council for widening the pathway at Brighton. Can easily walk my 10 Halo up there without coming close to the posts on either side.

Bring it on!

At least some of us (in Perth) had some fun today.
Here in Melbourne we had a gusty 29 - 35 Knots NNW, and the bay was 11 (eleven) degrees.
After 10 minutes on the beach, decided the smart think was to go home.
At least I was just about there.
Looks like I am getting too "mature".

Sounds like you were getting too blue

It's good to see the Die-Hards hardly dying.
