Kited at Brighton around 10 til 12 good for around an hour 7's and a surfy, wind then died for a half an hour then came in guns blazing. Got on the TT in 35 pinged off the first ramp into orbit then crashed my kite downlooping too late, ended up with lines wrapped around my neck, got them off asap but they were all around the bar also. Had to ditch my kite and swim in.
Still had a ball though, lines took an hour and a couple of beverages to sort out, pretty happy it ended well could have been real bad!
Was that before or after we passed you on the downwinder Nick? Certainly were a few big faces to boost off and some heavy swells if you got the turns wrong.
Also reckon that whilst dropping your kite was bad (and could have been a lot worse) it wasn't as bad as the City of Stirling guy that bogged his ute halfway along the City Beach dog beach. When we passed the waves were hitting it and washing the sand from underneath it
