Kiteventure

Great turnout at Seaford - with James, Dobbo, Pete, Stu, Mike, Rich and eventually Adam all coming down for a session.  Just a shame that the king of Seaford couldn't make it - Tarren got hit by a car while riding his skateboard on Friday night and is in hospital with a broken verterbrae. Nice little waves, powerful wind so some nice jumps, lots of rotations and all round fun.

Early morning solo at Hampton with nice wind and a whole bunch of footy players doing recovery.  Patches of rain, but pretty good wind and little surf.

after a movie viewing session last night, the wind popped up so I jetted down to Aspendale, met up with Rich and hit the water.  Inverted my kite and it flew inverted which was a bit scary.  Half landed 4 rotations on my weaker side, but the kite lines were so twisted it powered up and did scary stuff again.  Got smashed and dragged for a bit, and had to search for my board for a while.  Fun session.

Fantastic turnout at Rye for some great wind....at times. It kicked up for 2 fantastic sessions.  Landed a couple of triples, frontroll transitions with loops, backroll to toeside on my weaker side - it was all going on. We had Job, Luca, Rich, Rich's son, Tony, Stu, Anthony, James, Athol, quite the turnout.  I think we nailed some amazing footage too. Athol was onhand for spectactular photos as ever.

Last session and heaps of fun with James' camera, Taz chose the land board and learnt that water is softer than land.  Practiced the jesus walk which was heaps of fun - you have to crank the speed to keep it going.  Cream on top of the cream on top.

Switched over to the twin tip for the second half of the session - I still find the twin tip is heaps better in waves for riding and getting around the chop.  Had a ball.

Sunday morning, hit the water with Stu's mutant.  A real struggle at first as I thought you could only ride toeside and getting out through the big surf was a nightmare.  I finally worked out how to ride heelside both ways - which unlocked big waves on a surfboard.  Heaps of fun tracking to get out the back, ride the monsters all the way in, then do it all again.  Nice board !
