Session 500. A milestone and a cracking session too! Mike, Stu W, Stu S and myself kited from Shoreham in the continuing easterly, not quite as strong as yesterday. There weren't any good waves on the way to Flinders so we kept going past the pier and out to West Head.
A large grey seal was visible on the rocks as I tacked out. The reef break was pumping with some big sets coming through. There was plenty of water over the reef and the break was well defined so we caught some excellent waves. I peeked around West Head to get a view of the rocky coastline to the west.
After several good waves we turned to head back, initially well powered. Then a lull came, my kite hit the water but I was looking into a beach so I wasn't concerned about drifting in. The wind changed and came in strong enabling me to relaunch and continue back.
Very tired but satisfied - this was one of my best kitesurfing tours - variety, surf, some wildlife and marvellous scenery.
