EPIC. Early start before 11am self-launched 7m+surfboard on the sandbar. Started off very civilized in SW 25 with only 4 of us (including Chalmers and Cash) riding under sunny sky enjoying glassy sections between waves. Then it ramped up to SW 35 for some survival riding so quickly adjusted my kite for the high wind setting - way better. Most of the session was a little up and down with a couple of major lulls and many intense gusts when the sky darkened.
As usual heading westbound required by traversing tight ramps (like riding a bucking bronco) that paid off with sweet gybes across smoooooth foamy sections. Some of my favorite breaking waves were east by the railroad bridge where clean gybes were followed by tons of toeside hits.
By 1:30 the waves become disorganized as high tide flooded in with well over 20 kiters and 5 windsurfers. Called it quits after 2pm (over 3 hrs TOW) while there was still some beach to land my kite.
What a fantastic way to start the work week ... not working !!!
