Just another sharing the stoke thread.

Rosebud was pumping this morning after a light start to proceedings.

I would estimate maybe 50-70 kites up ranging in size from 8 -13.

Avg windspeed was in low 20s but up around 30 several times an hour.

There was a lot of traffic through the middle will plenty of newer riders taking the chance to battle the gusty northerly (which kicked in around 9.30). I'm only a year or so in - apologies to the more experienced riders that had take evasive action when I was out of control at times. The tide was coming in and there were some nice little waves to jump around on out the back; but also a lot of wobbly leg chop to contend with.

I crashed a lot as I'm not used to the conditions there. One time I got pulled right out of my footstraps which was kind of fun although I lost my board for about 10 minutes which wasn't.

Ended up staying for close to 4 hours until I was so cold and tired I could barely stand up on the board.

I really like sessions like that where you give the sea and the wind pretty much everything you've got

Monday is looking like a small kite afternoon and conveniently is my ADO so in the words of Arnie, Rosebud beach "I'll be back"

Good day at Rosebud. I chose an 11m and struggled from 9-10am but was perfect thereafter.

I grabbed someone's board for them. I think the kiter was wearing a helmet.

Managed to slice my wetsuit in the process and cut my arse. I think the board's fins had been professionally sharpened!

All good. Say hi next time. I had the trailer with the music playing in the car park.
