Session 388. Headed down to Brighton at about 11:00 am after a big sleep in having returned from our great ski trip the Main Range the day before.
A strong gusty northerly was blowing. Natalie was having trouble launching her foil kite on the beach - I attempted to help to no avail. A kiter was being towed in by another.
It was nice of the water but very gusty. I was fully de-powered on the Union 8 further out then fully powered when I encountered unexpected lulls.
Some guys were attempting to use 10m kites and didn't persist with that for too long. Its dangerous to fly a kite that is too big for the conditions.
After some nice runs out and back I finished with a couple of speed runs then met up with Graeme Simpson on the foreshore, where he helped me setup my new Spotz 3 foil board and foil. I can't wait to try it out, more on that soon.
