I arrived earlier than the wind and tried my big kite and big Tiki. My first attempt coincided with a lull and there was not enough power in the kite to get me going. I tried to drop into the water and do a water start in the other direction but I ended up too far underneath the kite and the lines went slack and the kite fell from the sky. The kite was having no problems staying in the air so the kite falling was my fault for getting under the kite. I self rescued and walked back and pumped the kite again. My second start was much better as the wind had come up nicely and I had a great session. I practiced many tacks and was able to make one. Certainly not dialled in but I may be starting to get the feel for it. I came in as the wind was starting to get too much for the big kite. Fantastic stuff.
