Not a bad turn out (~10 kiters) most on 8m including me. Wind somewhere between 23 to 30 knots. Not as gusty as I thought once on the water

Was so cold! Straight boosting whole time to stay warm. Thanks for the vid slappy, nice shots.I went on one long tack and froze. Called it after 2 hours. Wind was really nice tho. Face and fingers numb.

Sorry about the fog, it happens occasionally with certain temperatures and humidity where it just gets a fog layer on the outside of the gopro, I never know it's happening until the end of the session when I see the footage so shots that usually would be clear turn out fogged.

You guys were boosting huge, what size kites were you on?

I gotta admit, I don't think I'd have the balls to send it like that in 1-2 feet of water, hats off.
