What an amazing day! Warm sun, a light breeze... just perfick!

This was my first time at Greatstone and what they say is true: It's a hell of a walk to the water, but worth it when you get there. Lovely little waves, shallow for miles out, and far more open than Camber.

Had a good hour or so and tried some toeside and slide turns, but found the big board a little cumbersome. Some nice little hops though.

As the wind was holey, I dropped the kite a couple of times. Third time around the lines wrapped around the main bladder valve and pulled out the stopper. Game over! Especially as it was about 15 mins walk back to the van. Decided to quit while I was ahead, but would have liked to have kept going a bit longer.
