First Session, new 2009 Rise
A little disatisfied with the session to begin with but that quickly changed when the wind picked up a few knots.
Busted my go-joe while attempting some back loops and returned to the beach to remove it. Found a makeshift screwdriver on my key chain.
Somehow inverted lines between landing and pre re-launching and eventually sorted it out. Wind ~25 knots at the western point. Boosting ~20-25ft air again. Noice! more controled low single rotations easier in higher winds. lower winds seem to require blind sending of the kite just before landing and correlation with the board for a landing. More practice required.
Very Nice
I am pretty sure that the Spring - Summer transition happened mid session. One minute it was cold enough to want a hood, the next minute (when wind picked up) no hood required.
-Lots of whale watching boats roaring by with no one in them'
