Not much wind in the morning but all the locals said it picked up and swung round at 11. This happened so went out on my 13m and surfboard. Had a crap time, sunglasses broke first run out, cut all my feet up on the reef, was convinced my 13m was buggered, one line shorted than the other etc. Found the waves on a strapless board pretty weird. Wasnt happy!

Decided to put my 9m up which was the best move of the holiday. Its alot quicker which is loads better for the waves. Had a great time playing about on headhigh waves. Not kited much in waves before but reckon i made a pretty good fist of it. Got a few good photos of me kicking up spray on a lip. Kited till the sun went down, last off the water, couldnt help catching one last wave though so ended up about half a mile downwind and had to walk back ! Was worth it though, really want to get into waveriding more, shame there arnt many waves nearby back home.

Last day kiting on an amazing holiday. Wind wasnt as good as it could have been, but that meant we got to see more of the country and its friendly people.
