This morning was insane !!! After getting debriefed by wingers Adam and Adam, I was first kiter at 3rd Ave on 5m+surfboard in civilized SSE 30g35. Excellent clean waist high breaking waves. As wind ramped up to SSE 40+++ with smoke on the water, keeping speed under control became too challenging so had to come in downwind of the launch area. Walking back was pretty scary with a way overpowered 5m kite ... especially getting sand blasted in the face. Luckily, Lorne landed me before reaching the launch area.
The hardcore kiters on twin tips piled in on their 7m kites for some HUGE boosting action. First time I've seen a full house of kiters and windsurfers in a long time.
Had a few more bouts of playing in the waves between the uncivilized peaks. Best waves were near the end as the wind started to tank. Huge glassy sections between clean breaking waves.
