Awesome first real day back on the river, back on the freestyle kit! 103l Flare + 4.8m S1 - sail was at times a bit too much and at times just right. Glad to share the day with a lot of the usual suspects, and thanks to Mike for spotting me some sunscreen.
The only time it went realllllyyyyy west was around 5-5:15pm when it was just Massimo, myself and one other kiter left. I called it at that point.
First of many great days this season I'm sure
Flakas and spocks were very rusty (not a single one claimed today), and the long road to the shaka and/or shoveit has begun with many crashes. A few good loops were had! Won't be long before ankle dry full planing ones are happening in the river
Thanks for mentioning the river log/stump situation, Dave.. it is not to be taken lightly this year... A few of those stumps could be extremely dangerous. It would be great if we could get a chainsaw over there during a low tide and bust them up. Short of that, I will probably wire up some homemade markers so that we know where they are. Crashing a freestyle move or gybe and going head first into one of those partially submerged could be a quick KO...
