bejesus..it was windy...i'm still in shock i actually had to change down a kite size from the 13 to the 9 and was still way overpowered.

i was carried to the water and that was a challenge in itself, difficulty in holding and edge due to the massive gusts so jumps were long and low, managed a few 360 backloop transitions and a couple of 720's but it was a day for hanging on and doing stupid speed..

there was a windsufer out in the lagoon going ballistic speed with spectacliar carve gybes fully planning at all times..

good to be out but survival day

i blame shem we were going to dovey but the forecast was 14knts with 20 knts for anglesea....oh well you borth/dovey lot only had 22 to 25knts ..girls wind
