Why Locarno? Concession is clear for launch and land.

Got lucky by hitting the best wind. 3.7 on windfoil. Last windfoil was about 6 month ago. Ended as wind faded - still windy, just less. Could have up sized but had to go. Nice turn out.

Double Double! Snowboarding at Cypress then kitesurfing at Locarno.

Not only did I score a 12m+surfboard session in W 18-20 ... but I also scored Dmitri's kite foil

Another great session. I was first on a water. Started on 9m and it was too much, changed to 7m after 30min. Chris offered me to try his Trident mono foil.

Alton, I hope you will enjoy it. Nowdays I foil 80%, rest tt and windsurfing. It excel in low wind, but it's even more fun to ride in stronger wind.

Someone stole my kite bag today at West Concession, they took my pump out of it and put it on a log so at least they didn't take my pump >.<

They say that when you add foil to your quiver you can double your sessions... :shock:

Very nice 2.5 hours in low tide, sunshine and 14-18 knots yesterday, aside from someone stealing my kite bag.

Did anyone pick up a Naish Bar at Locarno yesterday? I was there mid afternoon, pumped my kite but never got out. Only just noticed it’s missing. :(
