2021 07 25 - Bubble buddy

 Went out at Aspendale with Taz and Stu - great to be out on the water.  Coldest hands ever - had to put my hand in my mouth to thaw it out.

24 Mar 2013 - Lets go big

After 2 sausages and some kick starter drinks we headed back out.  Grabbed the wetsuits this time as we were a little fatigued. The wind had died somewhat so we pumped up the normal kites, then had to sit on the beach as it faded completely.  We had decided to call it a day, deflated the kites then a kick arse south westerly came through at around 25 knots.  Pumped up the kites again and had a fantastic session.  Had a big air competition, and tried some of the moves I was reluctant to try in the surf.  Landed a 1080 backroll, front 360 transition, and almost got the toeside 540.  Had a big smash on an attempted dead man - I fell right on my arse from a large height.  The session was the absolute cream on a perfect weekend for kiting !

2016 04 10 - Sunrise over Franga

Ripping forecast for morning wind so Tarren and I met up at Aspendale, thinking it would be ripping the roof off.  Turns out it was a perfect morning there for a sup.  It seemed some wind was getting in at Frankston so we tore down there and it was definitely on.  It turned out to have something for everyone, we had wind ranging from 16 knots to about 28 knots, sunshine, rain and a ripping great time on the water.  The first 30 mins was good consistent wind for trying all sorts of stuff, I discovered that I could get massively upwind by gliding just 1 metre from the sand - had great fun carving up then going for big air on the way back.  Then the wind picked up and we were going huge - excellent fun.  Managed an entire board off and 2 rotations for an epic stack.  Love the track log on this one.

2026 02 07 - Threepeat - at Hampton with Stu, Mark and Mike

 Mike did a tour of the coast.  Mark worked on his jumps - coming along well.  Stu carved waves and I worked on rotational jumps - a lot.  Making good progress on the preferred side, and slow progress on the non preferred.  I'm finding the double back on the non preferred really tricky - trying to make sure the kite doesn't fly back to far in the window.  Great to get the 3rd session in - and 4 for the week !
