2020 10 24 - Ricketts point with the whole crew

 What a turn up.  After a very long pause for Covid, we finally had James, Stu, Pete, Athol, Rich, Anthony, Mike, Dan, Grant and Hamish.  Our initial plans for a crosswinder up to Aspendale were a little foiled, the wind was squalling up to 35 or so knots so best to stay around Ricketts.  It is such a tricky spot though and totally unforgiving, I had to rescue one beginner from hazard with the rock wall, and had to help out again when Stu Styles got into trouble when he hit his safety accidently.  Lots of fun though.  Big air, small surf and just great to have a bunch of fun people about.  All wrapped up with a couple of beers, winner.


Lots of photos of me being very serious.

2023 10 01 - Seaford - blown off the water

 Headed out with James for the first kite of the daylight savings season.  And what a cracker.  What looked to be a little over 20 knots soon turned out to be quite a bit more.  We put kites up and I was somewhat surprised that James headed straight downwind.  Once I was on the water it was clear that the wind was quite a bit stronger than we thought.  Got some massive massive air, thought about pulling a loop coming down but worried I would end up in the dunes.  After 30 mins it got to the point where I could barely hold the kite down.  James pulled safety so we put kites down happy to have got through the session.
