Session 361. I headed down to Hampton to catch the late sea breeze. Heavy traffic now so it took a while to get there. I considering using the foil board but there wasn't much time, so I used my Lithium 12 and trusty Nugget.
I resolved to work on my erratic back rolls. Given I often loop the kite I concentrated on keeping my hands together. This worked. I completed a roll in good control, but the kite ended up flying the other way, so I am still pulling on the back hand a bit.
I did about 6 on the left tack, landing one back roll kiteloop which feels really good when it works. On the right tack I couldn't even get one to work. About 4 other kiters were out and one windsurfer. The breeze dropped right off when I finished.
Next time I will try some back rolls with my front hand pulling down and also try an agressive back roll kiteloop with the rear hand pulling down.
A nice way to finish the week.
