Locust for the win!!!
20gusting to low 30s for the first hour then dropped off from there.
When I got to the beach there was no wind in close and nobody around.
I rigged up my 10m and checked everything thrice, then proceeded to drift launch my most exciting drift launch to date!!
as soon as I waded a lines length away from beach wind was full on. I let my kite go in the water, it immediately got spun by a wave and went airborne. Kite flew inverted about 10’ off water until lines went taught, a quick steering line pull and away I go. Belive I have discovered an entirely weed free self launch technique.
About 5 minuites after that stunt the next rider showed up...
In the end about a half dozen kiters, wind was patchy but very fun in the patches.
I like riding powered up
Less like self launching powered up
