    1.00 hours Ocean Rodeo Zen 135
    Ocean Rodeo Bronco 12m
    I didn't really use the 12m Bronco today. Rob S. was kind enough to lend me his Diablo 12m. What a sweet, silky smooth kite!

    It was a gusty overpowered session but the Diablo made it fun to just keep pulling the trigger. Nice lift, nice float.

    Great to see a couple of new kiters doing body drags on the OR 1.8 Stinger( way to go, Fernando!). Amazing what you can do with a small kite in enough wind and there was plenty this afternoon.

    Also Debra learning on my 8m and John on the 12m One. Lots of enthusias ... (more)

    windier than it looked from the cliff. lots of lift. my hamstring is still sore but only when its in use. i now realize how little use my hamstrings get as they are not hurting throughout the day. only a bit of pain on some hot landings.

    Waited most of afternoon for the wind to pick up. Hot on the beach which wasn't a good sign. Entertained by Kus on his kite and later BWD doing tricks in no wind. Tried some tacks on the carve but so far no success.

    Gunther treated all of us to a 'Mexican Night' complete with music, dancing and an endless spread of food and mulled wine. The latter cancelling out the planned moonlit paddle down the lake.....no regrets!! Thanks to all for a great evening!

    NOT ENOUGH WIND....AGAIN, I know why I went up: to camp & learn to kite but it's still frustrating reading about 4.0 week & getting ~2 hrs of it after 10 tries. Barely planing, pumping 4rides & working on monkeys/helis. Too pooped after kiting sesh :roll: so much for my delusion of being in reasonable physical shape :roll: Tough crowd on the beach too, Windoc & BWD booing the monkeys :lol:

    Got to the lake around 1:30 and it was just starting to fill in. At 2 it filled in to about 20kts, but only for about 30 mins. It dropped to 14-18 and the 5.5 worked for a couple of hours. Campsite was half empty. Great to sail with Kus. Treated to Nachos and coffee with baileys by Rick and Pat - thanks guys!

    Twisting lines mess on set up sucked, nobody on the water, launching barely powered should've been clues not to go, no luck getting up on board long even after full power adjust, couple very brief runs keeping upwind, then dreaded "I hate going the other way still" back to beach. Board got spun as usual, lost sight of kite, splatttt, almost nailed only beginner windsurfer out :oops: amazing how it seeks out the only obstacles around, no hope in hell of relaunch.

    Came off the water to a nice bbq salmon dinner complements of some friends for my bday. Can't complain, and didn't get hooked by any kids fishing. :wink:

    A 12m session as it should be. Out at 1:30 to sometime past 3:30.

    Enough power for jumping and working on faster turns on the small swells but not as gusty as the last couple of days. Just right.

    Strange wind today. Gusty, almost Gorge like conditions.

    A dozen or more windsurfers out later when it looked a bit steadier.

    With all the "forwards" and other "moves" being thrown out there, it was like being at the "Hatchery" gallery!

    Good fun with RG, BWD, MW, DG, Fishies, etc. Harder to find ramps today, but good nonetheless. Trying to learn the finer points of hucking. Trev was good inspiration.

    My virgin hands are getting shredded after only 2 sessions.

    Was a bit afraid of this outing, with so much talk of unleashing hate. But, pulled it together and had a blast. :D What a turnout. over 15 people ripping it up. RD and BWD going over the handlebars with good authority :o TheLaw doing border patrol and riding the big ones. DunkinGuy and Doc owning the forward stage. :evil: BWD working on shuvits, and has promised to teach me the move when it's wired.
