    After a long wait it finally picked up around 3:00 for an hour of cruising and working on tacks, helis, switch-stance sailing etc. I highly recommend the Eastside all-inclusive south island package - unlimited gear capacity, hot water, dinner theatre (The Odd Couple), neurotic cannine companionship, personal hygene tips, and lots-o-laughs. Cheers!

    Another great afternoon at Ross Bay. Didn't have anything bigger so had to use the C :D ode Red 7.7m. Amazing I got going on the Formula board with such a smallish sail. It was great in the 17kts part but when it was 12tks there was alot of pumping to be done! Good times with Mr. Keen(er) ripping thru the sailboats that were racing! Mr. Keen(er) is finally appreciating the BG for exactly what it is made for...light winds! That F-Type is fast! My top speed today was 34.7km/h. Not really that quick, needed mo ... (more)

    On my own for the first hour, extreme flood current made going upwind a chore. Sad that there were no new people out to join me :( Today would have been a perfect time. Tried some backflip transitions - kept landing on my side and dumping the kite. Fins kept loosening off after those hard "landings". Time for some epoxy I think.

    Sweet session on the outside ... Very light inside (12+) but just a little ways out the wind was smoooth ... Had a great time jumping in the tide rip until I dropped my board & the Go-Joe couldn't beat the current ... Body dragged in, borrowed a board (Thanks Martin) & retrieved it ... Go-joes make a great marker for a middle aged near sighted kiter !!! 8)

    Well I hadn't been kiting at Island View for like.....ever...it seemed. Chose to stay close to home today. A short session but a very relaxing afternoon-evening; including a nice dinner with family. I forgot.......the water sure is warm on this side. Glad to hear your back is in better form today Martin. I think kiting may just be the best therapy!

    Sweet big gear session with Bobson in the warm sun and warm wind. dicey to start but then the wind came up bit so we were ripping out toward Trial in perfect big gear conditions. 2nd time on the overdrive. feels so heavy but in light wind conditions it has the power you need to plane -- a worthwhile sacrifice! great way to end my weekend!

    Sorta a day off, shoulda gone earlier with 15 knots, misjudged the wind building in the afternoon. Last year was 15-30 knots pretty much every day - SO different this year. Super steady wind, and a horizon both sides (200 km long lake) Desperation sail, and now getting too much debris in the water for planing anyhow :cry:

    Udder and I were the Gordon's virgins. Fortunately there was no sacrifices necessary. Except for Bean's 5.0, which he probably holed on purpose so he didn't have to come in to rerig. Nice lined up swell was everywhere. Got some great swell rides and one big air. Took awhile to get used to the conditions. Nasty chop, great swell, then it smoothes out on the outside. Some kinda magic keeps you up wind. Kept getting windier, so went in to check on Buster and get the smaller board. The Beast was great ... (more)

    Mid-island possee road trip! Gordon's delivered big time. Overpowered on the 5.0 so teed it off a wonky piece of chop with one foot out of the straps and the the precision head size hole made it a perfect 4.5ish ... and I sailed on. Bunch of forwards and just loving the smooth swell rides and slashes. Cheers for the beer Jellyfish via Ruskie.

    my only regret is not ditching work earlier. surprised at how powered up I was on my 4.5 when I first got out! super fun time in the swells. starting to get way more comfortable getting launched off them (and actually landing)! Fun to see the regulars ripping up the waves and scoring some big airtime. I think I might be turning into a wind snob... :)

    Wow :twisted: ditched 5.3 after 2 runs of flats & crap chop, heavy wind w/decent waves outside only to have inside waves materialize :D

    MidIsle crew got a great day, very cool to see all playing hard. Waves so nice to ride inside, unusual for this place. Waves not as big as sometimes outside at Gords but supersmooth and organized, certainly one of the funnest days ever. Love the OES, can't wait for my 85 :!:

    Sail 12 Wave 9-10 (certainly 10 for Gordos) Jump 9

    So good! Big smooth swell on the outside for riding and jumping. Doc with some huge push loop attempts, Bean with some great fwds, TheLaw ripping up the swell. Great fun on and off the water. Good heckling session from the beach where I learned proper crank technique - apparently I've been doing it wrong. Doc nearly taken out by some transient geese. A close call and something that will stay with you for life! Thanks for the beer and chocolate BA and RD/Jelly for the beer!

    :D :D :D Sun, warm wind, smooth swells, ramps galore, great vibe on the beach... couldn't think of a better way to spend a Friiday afternoon! :D :D :D

    Jumps getting higher and making more jibes on the outside. Best Gordo's day for me yet!

    Nice to see the up-island crew joining the fun.

    Next Friday please!
