I was at Locarno and I couldn't get off the beach. F2 Stoke 135L (freeride) 6.0 Retro and SS Fwind1 (Gamma 68cm). The wind was directly onshore, I couldn't even fly my sail (didn't bring my fins so that was not an option). There was a wind line and it stopped around 200-300m before the shore, which was strange considering it was onshore wind. I've never seen a North wind like that.
Even some good kiters were saying the wind was behaving strangely. I was at Airtime Boardsports for last operating day (free beer and windsurfing magazines). He's cleaning up tomorrow last chance for closing windsurfing stuff.
I also heard that a group of 6 kiters did a downwinder from Squamism to Spanish Banks.
I guess next time I'll rig a 6.5 or 7.5m.
