2023 01 09 - Multiple boards at Aspendale

 Picked up Sam's surfboard in the morning and gave it a shot in the afternoon.  It turns beautifully but is quite long and skinny, I don't think it's perfect for me.  Aspendale was glorious, 20 knots, little waves and good opportunities for jumps.  Tried a darkslide on my non preferred which I crashed head first into the water - some way to go on that.  Mike and Dobbo joined me there - Mike having his first session in ages.  I had a go of Mike's WAM board - very similar to the nugget in terms of the ride, just turns a little faster.

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.
