2026 09 20 - Rosebud in howling wind with James, Stu, Mark & Pete

 Headed down to Rosebud with James, hit the beach at 930.  Forecast was for base of 24 and gusts to 40, but it was a bit light on the beach so we went out on the big kites.  I setup the 10 and just depowered on the lines. Wind was fantastic, strong but consistent.  We made our way up to the pier, lots of big jumps and fun in the waves.  Had a bit of trouble with the depower, otherwise all was super fun.  Stu and Mark were on the small kites, having arrived a little later.  No problem though holding down 25 knots on the 10.

 Seem to have gone to chode again

2026 09 22 - Lombok day 8 - Chode and Michael on the reef

 Went down to chode for a play.  Got absolutely nailed on a wave and lost my glasses.  Michaels leading edge deflated so we had to go on a rescue mission.

2026 09 22 - Lombok day 8 - up to the old spot

 Again, scratching to get more wind.  Spent some time at ufos before curiously checking out what Michael was up to at Gang bangs.

 Jumping session in front of the kite shack to finish off the day.
