2022 04 30 - Bad start, good end

 Haven't been out for a while, I didn't really set my lines up right or get the kite angle right.  Went into a death loop right on launching, I got faceplanted into the sand before I could take any action and the kite went into a tree.  Luckily the bladder wasn't punctured but I've got 4 decent rips in the canopy to fix.  Bit of a scare but I did a lot wrong so not super worried. Rigged up the 7 and had a cracking session.  Riding waves toeside all the way to Frankston, then back to Seaford pier in the channel by the beach.  Rinse and repeat.  James and I had massive smiles the whole time.

2022 04 11 - Early morning Hampton

 Missed out on a northerly yesterday, and have been pretty busy surfing with Sonny, so was keen to get up early and grab a pretty average forecasted wind.  Took the nugget which was a saviour - it was between 13 and 17 knots so at times getting air, others just struggling to keep moving.  About to head to Tathra and Sydney with no prospect of wind up there so take what you can get huh!

2022 04 02 - Pines o clock

 Met up with Taz, Stu, Dobbo and James down at the Pines.  Great wind and waves were a good size.  Had fun at the Pines, went up to Point Leo but it was high tide and a big mess up there.  Came back to Zappas which was amazing on the kite, had a ball tucking into great little waves.
