Showed up just before 2pm. Dropped Essex (kiter) off at 3rd ave and headed over to Centennial. Met up with Richi and Michael on the beach, watching the wind lull a bit before picking back up to "big gear" level 15mins later. Rigged the XL to begin with. Marginal/on the cusp of planing for the first 30mins or so, then eventually the wind really filled in and it was just crankin on the outside. The ramps weren't lining up great for jumps unfortunately, but it was nice to rip with a lot of power.
Came in with Michael around 4pm to down rig to the M, but by the time we got back out it was done. Richi timed his sail choice perfectly, scoring the power hour on his smaller stuff whilst Michael and I were coming in to rerig.
Essex said that at 3rd he went right out on his 12 at 2pm, then came in an hour later for 9m and was dialed on that for the rest of the session.
Finally a non-skunked session! Keeping my eye on the actuals for tomorrow's dawn patrol...
