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 !

2026 02 06 - Hampton after work - again

 Met Mark and Stu down at Hampton again for another great session.  Went looking for Chris but couldn't find him anywhere.  Went up to the sea wall for flat water and fun jumps.

2026 02 05 - Hampton after work with Chris, Stu and Mark

 Headed off from work a little earlier to hit up Hampton.  Perfect conditions on arrival.  Took both the twin tip and the nugget to the beach, but wind was strong enough for the twinny.  Did some work on rotational jumps, particularly doubles on the right side which all ended badly.  Needs a lot of work - again.  Chris Lev is doing well on the wing, just working on his gybes.

2026 01 31 - Point Lonsdale in strong wind

 Initial setup was to meet Garry and Michael Collins at Point Impossible.  Headed down with James and Stu in tow, when we got there, there was not enough wind and the surf was tiny.  We decided to head to Point Lonsdale as there would be a better wind aspect and waves would be bigger. No dissapointment, it was strong at Point Lonsdale and markedly bigger waves.  Had a great time in the big strong surf, quick carves on waves before they broke, jumps and long runs up the beach.  Tried out the Insta360 - a bit awkward holding it in one hand but fun.
