2023 02 12 - Ricketts to Brighton downwinder

 Very choppy off Beamauris but lots of fun and jumps all the way down to Brighton.  Stu, Ant, James and some others that I now totally forget.

2023 02 04 - Wild conditions at Tazpendale

 The session kicked off with Taz getting big air way too close to the beach, landing on the beach and putting his kite into a bush in his neighbours back yard. Consistently strong wind and big waves made it full of adventures.  Big air and secondary lift, kiteloops, all going on.  Taz, Stu, Mike, Adam and I were all out.  After a hefty fall the float on my glasses fell off on one side.  After removing the float, toeside on a wave I had a pretty major faceplant.  The glasses cut into my face somehow leaving me with a cut on the bridge of my nose and eyebrow.  It was bleeding a bit, but not too much so I perservered. Stu and I tried to do a run to Frankston but the angles weren't working.  We got to Chelsea, then jumped all the way back to Taz's place.  Totally wild and fun session, had to have a nap afterwards.  2 hours, 55kms.

2023 01 30 - Scratching it out at Port

 Joined taz and James after work.  Just enough to stay upwind, could have done with an extra couple of knots.   James and I cut around to South Melbourne but a swimmer was waving his arms at us on the beach so I hightailed it back to port.
