2025 12 20 - Rickets point on a seabreeze

 I wanted to catch up with Grant so thought we should combine it with a sail. Hit Ricketts at 5pm and it felt like a seabreeze was gonna hit.  Looked a bit marginal so went out with the Nugget.  It was perfect, was able to keep up wind easily, jump, do whatever I liked.  Mark, Grant and Hamish all joined in.  Great little session.

2025 12 14 - Aspendale to Frankston - down and back

 Epic tour where the wind played along perfectly. James, Stu, Pete, Mark, Anthony and I gathered at Aspendale.  Truckloads of wind and straight westerly.  We hung around Aspendale until everyone was in the water, then set off down to Frankston.  Lots of great waves along the way, particularly standing up near Carrum yacht club, Seaford and closer to Frankston.  We stuck together on the way down.  I checked my watch and we were making pretty poor time - about 1 hour 20 in and still some way from Frankston so I hit the gas.  I got as far as the start of Frankston and the wind had swung south westerly, I couldn't make much ground up the beach.  Perfect timing to turn around and start the leisurly run back. Had a ball just riding waves as much as possible all the way back.  At some stage I was a fair way in front of everyone then James came roaring back taking a straight line along the foreshore.  5 of us got back fine - Anthony bailed out f...

 Solid 20 to 25 knots, nice wave faces which quickly turned into ramps.  Loving the new kite with the new bar, the new bar has made a massive difference.  Very stable during rotations.  Was able to do 2 double back rolls perfectly which I was wrapped with. Got slammed a couple of times - one whiplash and one ball bash.  Very happy though, super fun.

2025 11 27 - Hampton afternoon

 Snuck out for a cheeky kite.  Great wind and no-one on the beach.  Awesome to be on the water again, a bunch of jumps on the nugget until it really heated up and jumped on the twintip.

2025 11 09 - Hampton amongst the rain clouds

 Weather has been rubbish but managed to get out early in the morning.  The water wasn't flash, but wind was great on the nugget.  Lots of rotational jumps and kiteloops.

2025 09 27 - Seaford with James

 Cracking session on an excellent weekend of surf and kiting.  Unfortunately safety popped out for no reason (and popped in again) so time for a new bar.
