Lovely!!!!

During the day the wind had been gusting to 40+ knots and the sea was a mess, but it dropped off a little around 4pm. When I first launched there was only just enough wind to get going with my 4.5m, but I released a bit of outhaul and it was perfect. I never made it right out the back as there was masses and masses of whitewater, so I'm not actually sure how big the surf really was, but it was pretty rough.

I then launched Derek's kite for him and went back out. We were both having a good time out there with both of us getting some big jumps and nicely powered up. Chris then came to the beach and I helped him launch his kite, but by now thw wind had picked up a little too much and he just got dragged down the beach, so I had to run after him, catch hold of the back of his harness and drag him back before landing his kite. Derek was overpowered now too, so I landed his kite for him before putting the outhaul tension back on my sail and getting back out there. It was exhausting work in the challenging conditions but I had a really good sail. Made my gybes and had some good jumps and wave rides. I was only on the water for about an hour though so won't give it 5 stars.
