Lots of us got out today at Spanish Banks. Wind was in the 12-14 knot range.

Same in WR but was lighter, maybe 7-10 from 1-4:00 then picked up, switching straight wnw 10-14 from 4:00 to 5:30.

Had fun 3.5HR on the NP glide medium wing and 12m dice. Power was no issue, but each time I dropped kite I had to drift in through the weeds and relaunch off beach, then wade and body drag back through weeds to go again.... :x

Pirate ship out in the bay was cool to check out. FYI 100+ ft square mast sailing ships steal alot of wind, almost dropped it way out in the USA, yikes! Downloop!

WR sea festival is going on, kids had fun with all the activities, performers and night ended with fireworks. Nice to drift in with live bands to listen to.
