Another good kitesurf session. A little more wind than yesterday, but I was able to depower my kite and so was once again just nicely powered up. I was able to gain ground upwind easily, so once I had done so started going for some jumps. I made quite a few and even started landing some of the smaller ones pretty cleanly. I also realised that I'm now hardly ever looking at the kite, even during jumps and transitions, and have also noticed that the slight adjustments in kite and board position to cope with any lulls, gusts or waves are now happening pretty instinctively meaning that I'm getting much smoother on the water.

Once again there wasn't a soul on the beach other than me. Not quite five-stars though as the jumps weren't as big as yesterdays (mainly because the kite was depowered) and because the sun wasn't shining!

Oh, I did get dragged a little at one point too, and my coiled leash is no longer coiled... I think it may have exceeded its elastic limit!!!
