Seaford Kiteboarding with a rookie error

 Session #586. The beach at Seaford is very narrow now at high tide.  I rigged my 12m kite upwind and launched but one of the lines was crossed. I lost control and it looped into a tree. It took a while to get it down.  

Rigging up downwind is much safer. You can inspect the lines before the kite is powered up and abort a self launch safely.

I rigged up my 9m kite and has a short session before the wind konked out.

This season is another bad one for kitesurfing so far.  Fickle winds and long lulls.
