nice on to the crew at loders today. Big jumps and nice flat water. was blowing so strong fitzy almost got blown away. I heard there may even be a photo

the champ even turned up "exciting times"

I was on a crossbow2 9m. It was so nice when the wind was hitting the 30 plus mark. Hope its on tomorrow.

Big thanks to the guys at surf fx for keeping me in the water while my kite was awaiting repairs. Today on the crossbow2 and twice last week on the switchblade 2. Your kidding thats what i call service. Sensational Form.

hay sam you did well to untangle yourself. You got to the kite ok and the lines were running freely around the beacon. You can self rescue by using the kite as a sail, it is not easy as some would have you believe but you can do it, especially if you let some air out of the leading edge so you can bend it a bit.

I had a chat with pauli and got the gist on rescues like that, it is not easy untill you see it done.

Remember as someone used to keep telling me when i started 'distance is your friend' and do not worry you can not be as dangerous as Johno is, or as exciting as'mad dog fitzy'. Then of course there are my own adventures. In fact if you ask around you will hear almost all have tales of wow.

Check those lines SamS. The rust scale and oysters are gnarly on kite lines.

If they are nicked, discard them. Don't worry about the channel markers. Plenty of us have ended up having altercations with them, me included.

I was keeping an eye on you as well but Paulio beat me to the board and tow.

Nice jumps Richo, nearly as good as the Champ. He was really cookin.

My arms are tired from hanging on to the signpost. Bloody hell it was blowin

See you there tomorrow

Sure did pick up some hot moves from a great champ out there,there is just no way that my old gear can handle the out of world perrformance that enables some people to ride like lenton.
