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.

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.
