After yesterday's underpowered effort I pumped up the 16m Boxer as the analometer was reading about 10-14kts. Yes as I put the kite up the wind picked up. First attempt to self-launch had to abort due to crossed lines, and by the time I got round to getting the kite up the wind had picked up so much that the kite dragged be across the shingle. Ouch. Scratched arms a go-go, and naturally had to bring the kite straight down. Packing up I got blood on it, and decided to leave it as a reminder to double check if the wind picks up (it was now 20kts).

Put up the 11m and used the Protoy due to the chop, but by the time that was up I felt a bit underpowered. I couldn't seem to get thr trim of the kite right... underpowered on the water yet it was a huge battle to walk upwind on the beach. A few good runs, but a very frustrating 4 hours.
