Glad to score a 2 hour session with 8m kite at 3rd av today

Fun day, but a lot of work! Haven't seen wind and waves like that in a while and I sure felt it in my legs. The wave garden was pumping though and there were some epic rides to be had. Also some nasty crashes, foiling crashes at full speed on a wave hurt!
Took most of the session just to get used to riding waves again but by the end was ripping around switch again. Tried one back winded down winder which ended in a splat! Still have a hard time with the Slick when the wind gets light, when it's powered it's fun, but the wind was up and down today so had a few frustrating moments getting rolled around in the swell. Surprised, only one windsurfer out today, was happy to see Brad at the end though. Hope it was fun?

Sweet 3 hrs at 3rd Ave. Joined Will (12m) and Carl (9m) for dawn patrol on my 8m+surfboard in SSE 25+ with nice waist high waves.

Headed straight back to shore after an incident when I thought my spreader bar broke. It actually turns out that I had to take in my harness by 2 inches due to the 25 lbs I lost since last summer.

Then returned to the water for a sweet 6m session with Francis (6m) and Cash (10m).

Just as AJ arrived, I pinched out another half hour on 8m before heading back to work at noon.

Good kitefoiling session at Jericho. Started late at 3pm wind was light but after frustrated launch it end up to be good session.
Luke, Phil, Daniel and Chris were out when I came. I saw them out at noon on webcam.
