A ripper of a day on the water, big winds, lit on a 9 most of the day, 12 would have been the kite later.... anyway good day overall, scary morning though, I through up the 12, not sure if it would be enough, it was just 12able until after 10 or so minutes the 30 knot storm front moved in, which to say the least made survival a bit challenging... I tryed to kill some time by carefully crusing around until someone showed up to land my kite, so I could switch to a 9m - obiously I was 100% overpowered, I did that for half an hour somehow with gusts that felt like 40 knots, anyway I eventually ditched the kite because I thought I was going to die at that point. But after that with the 9 all was well.
