Lonely session at first. One kite out initially, then six more. I was the only windboardsurfer out until Turtle showed later.
I tried at least 1-2 forwards on every run out. The ramps improved later on in the session, but I was tired from sheeting in so hard, so my last forwards were pretty feeble. I had 2 good ones when I was slightly overpowered with a good steep ramp to launch from. I still don't have the whippy-spinny flat water forwards that Jeff and other sailors seem to pull off effortlessly, but I'm getting closer. Can't wait to get back on the Evo and a 5.0 at Gordo's for some real fun!
Just as I was packing up, I looked up in time to see Turtle nearly dice a sea lion in two near shore. Turtle crashed very close to where the sea lion dove and was up and on his board again like he'd been electrocuted in the water! :lol: I'm not sure who was more shocked, the sea lion or turtle!
