    :D very steady wind, no complaints, just a little whining about the debris in the water. But if that is all, then it was a great day!

    Nice to get back into the kite mode these last two days after a rather long

    dry spell.

Then making kelp salad for over an hour trying Monkeys, made 3 all the way around but plunked in when sheeting in, can't get any closer than that :P one lame backie, no good ramps. Fun gusty sesh, megawave fin great & fast but can't jump when overpowered (& there was a lot of that :shock: ) go figure.

    Gusty as hell but fun at times with the odd big swell outside. Wanted to go on the 4.7 but there were too many holes so I stayed on the 5.6 mega powered in the gusts. Some nice 3' steep faces to jump. Almost went to Gordo's but a call from BWD made me turn around and go to Cook. :)

    a bit on the kooky gusty side, but no complaints for an in-town after work session. Sort of beat after going 5 for 5 in bike to work week. Lots of km on aging legs. Nice to see Tom out ripping again.

    Hairy launch, however, obscenely comfortable, even in the big gusts. I was surprised at how easy it was to trim the kite to the wind conditions. Floaty airs and some full-on adrenaline rushes. Can't wait for the 7m ONE. Overall, a very worthwhile session. Very stoked with this kite.

    :D :D Gusty but lots of wind. Took one run on the 5.4 and was waaaaay OP'ed. CAme in and rigged the 4.8 flat and was good to go except for the odd 30+ gust. Waves were nice early on but the wind flattened them by the end. Great fast slalom runs at the end. HAd lots of nice jumps, jibes, and tacks. Pat and Rick joined in the fun, Alastair blasting in the lagoon, and Vic watching it all go down.

    Fun times :D :D

    Caught only decent gust out to plane toward what might be a windline but feared was a tidal line....blowing gybe in zero wind, not enough to even fly sail, never mind waterstart I confirmed the latter. After several no-way mast uphauls w/ chop breaking on deck, I thought I was pulling a JL/Vood trip drifting past waving pleasureboaters to Trial. Used uphaul emerg line from harness to finally get back in 3 long slogg tacks :x Horrendous outing :evil:

    Going away for a week so had to get out even if marginal. All slog, nearly planed a couple of times, teaser wind. Ogden showing 20 g 25, Trial and Gonzales both over 20, but sure wasn't on the water, didn't get any better way out. Good practice on slog gybes and clew-first exits. Good talking to Bobson and Kus (wind picked up when he left), congrats Pat and Rick for first Cook Street sessions!

    An example of attitude is everything: Rigged up with water like a mirror.( Kelp s.s.e.17) Suited up when wind reached beach (6-8 knots). Was rewarded with a power hour (~16) knots... Good day. Nice to get out in the sunshine...Mike was jumping (19M Naish Boxter) like an air puppy. Note: Vic. airport 13 knots @ 2 p.m./ 11-16 @ 4 p.m....Sounds about right...
