14 Nov 2011 - Sandy point inlet
Location : Sandy point
Kite : 10m Switchblade
Conditions : 25 to 16 knot south westerly
I was a bit scared. The forecast was not disimilar to my biggest kitemare ever at exactly this location - a front was going to hit with about 35 knots of pain at some stage during the day. After setting up and seeing the wind pick up I thought I was in for a big adventure.
Headed out and it was all over the shop at the north of the inlet. Gusting from 15 to about 25 knots, really damn nasty. I headed to the south of the inlet as the wind seemed to be more consistent there - but it was blowing pretty hard. I thought I'd have to go in and get the 7m - but everything scaled back and I had a fun time doing some transitions.
