2020 02 16 Balnarring

James and I hit up Balnarring.  Quite specific rules about where you are allowed to kite, but had some great wind so lots of nice high jumps.

2020 02 09 - Shoreham to paradise

Doubled up on yesterdays session.  Great wind forecast so we went back to the bay from the day before, not quite as good a swell so we went past Flinders pier.  I could see waves breaking further out so we tacked hard and came onto some fantastic waves on the point.  Dropped my kite and one point and felt like it was going to be shredded on the rocks - but through some miracle I relaunched and continued to have an amazing kite.  Had a big trip back - halfway back we got hit with some big gusts that made it pretty hard going, but wrapped to have a couple of solid hours on the water.

2020 02 08 - Shoreham - wow

Fantastic wind, amazing scenery and a trip along the coast from the Pines, Honeysuckle and up to Flinders pier.  Found a fantastic little bay where we got to tuck in to some nice little waves.  Spectacular session.  Unfortunately gave my new board a little scratch - oh well !

2020 02 02 - Aspendale - gotta love the new kite

Fully powered in about 15 knots for about 1.5 hours with James, Anthony, Adam.  Got the new board and new kite and new harness and life is sweeeet.

2020 01 26 - Hampton with new kite

Just bought the new Cab Switchy (2018) - first run and it was amazing.  Parked the kite in 14 knots and it's pulling like a truck, nice big floaty jumps and loops.  Great session with Pete.

2020 01 21 - Mentone in a strong SE

Bit sketchy in close but nice and strong out a bit.  Pulled some nice jumps with kiteloops, all secretly filmed by Anthony on the beach.

2020 01 04 - Point Leo - when will the surf come

Looked like a great forecast so we hit up Point Leo - wind was just enough but SW so a bit tricky.  We headed down to the Pines but it was very variable there, so we cut back to 2nd reef and it was magic.  Very little surf but super fun carving it up. Great spot, just can't wait until we get surf and wind there.  Excellent fun with Pete, James, Stu and Mike.
