You are riding the waves upwind, go left son!

I didn't want to go West of the Incinerator Rock lot and with the angle the waves were breaking I was trucking downwind pretty hard for each ride.

At https://youtu.be/Il8CAwNsxIk?t=519 that wave was zero kite just riding the face but the reason I didn't include many of those kinds of shots in the edit is because you can barely even tell I'm on a wave in the video. Unless the foam is curling at my feet it just comes across as a gentle slope.

I was there 3 days prior. Rare treat for a goofy footer. Waves were best closer to Incinerator than Lovekin. If you think that is gusty I guess you haven’t tried a NW there yet! 7m lit to Hindenburg.

I kited South Chestermans on a S 25g40 2 years ago and it was far worse.

Once I got away from the island the gusts were manageable.
