Kiteventure

 Solid wind forecast so met Mark at Hampton.  A great 20 knots greeted us.  Attempted heaps of double back rolls and landed 3.  I've increased my success rate ! Key pointers - get air first - build up to an actual jump - tuck in legs - do the grab on the second rotation - pull out legs in prep for landing

 Had to launch the 7 and depower - it was blowing really hard.  Joined Stu, Mark and Rich.  We planned to do down and back to Frankston - but it was perfect just hitting up the waves off Carrum.  Had a ball and exhausted now.

Showed up at Aspendale with Mark, Stu and James.  Considered doing a down winder but wind looked strong enough to do a down and back.  Put up the 7 and it wasn't ripping so came back and put up the 10.  The water was stunning, great wind of about 22 knots allowed us to make it to around Carrum.  Tried heaps of double backs on the preferred side and forward rotations on the non-preferred.  Landed about 3 of the double backs out of probably 30 attempts.  I've gotta get better at them !  Felt pretty tired by the end of a 90 min session.

 Mike, Stu, Anthony all turned up to Hampton to celebrate the new kiting year.  Fun session with a bunch of waves, jumps and kiteloops.  That Steele guy is as annoying as ever.

 Wind came hooting in Sunday morning so we had an epic session in the waves.

 Strong wind forecast came in for Sunday morning, and Saturday afternoon looked like a chance, so we headed down to Walkerville in the Jamesmobile on Sat afternoon.  Stopped off at Venus bay, but with wind looking more likely we headed down to Sandy point.  And it was on !  Great late afternoon kite with the big kites and big waves.  Topped off with a delicious meal at the Fish Creek pub.  James, Pete, Mike, Stu and I had a ball.
