20 Nov 2011 - That summer feeling
Location : Hampton
Kite : 10m Switchblade
Conditions : 18 to 25 knot westerly
First day since it started warming up that I have abandoned the wetsuit. It was glorious to be out on a sunny day, water 18C, consistent wind and back on the progression trail. Managed to really consolidated forward 360s in both directions, and the backroll transition was working a treat in the stronger winds. Tried a raley or two but must work on those a bit more. Kiting in summer is such a different proposition - better winds and more opportunities to try new stuff.
