Solid fun kiting last weekend - still living off it. 2 posts in one. While we wait for fall winds....

Late post here for last weekend. Greta weekend. Got out late last Saturday for a solid 3-5pm 12m session at metro with all the regulars - now number 30-40+ kiters. Sun and 15-20 SSW winds that didn't look kiteable but we're good enough for a great long sesh. Good appetizer for tomorrow....

Sunday at Harsens and SW to W to WNW 20-30 with cooler temps and clouds and occasional rain and sprinkles. About a dozen of us out and started right away with the 9m Rebel. Perfect setup for the Carbon Mako and staying way upwind and playing on downwind carving along the shoreline. Wen to the surfboard later and then finally the 4.2m Atlas and the 84 FSW for a great hour in 25+ west winds. Lots of jibes and carving 360's with a few jumps. Really nice sesh I between the kiting and pulling on some different muscle groups. Swell was really fun as well - just about a perfect 2 a sport day. Looking forward to more this with fall here now. We need it after a really poor wind season. Kiting filling in really well for all the missed WS.
