I'll cut to the punchline - I trashed my kite in pounding surf. :cry:
Napped in the car waiting for wind and it arrived at 11:00 but was really up and down so much I spent an hour deciding what to rig. Surf board was way too much board. The whitewater was powerful and some waves were breaking way offshore. Really tight period and super jumbly choppy, altogether nasty waves. Came in and got my twin tip, dumped kite on the outside but there was almost no wind between the big swell so couldn't relaunch. Kite tumbled, I released and the rest is history. Poor kite ...
