Kiteventure

 With James, Pete and Mike.  Lost my wetsuit beanie unfortunately, but all up an awesome session.  Did a great double back with the surfboard, and some forward rolls too. Unbeknown to us, Eugene was taking some amazing footage of the session on his drone.  Bonus !

 Called in to see Taz's new place at Aspendale - heaps of room, a cute cat and a very big snake.  Great turnout - Pete, James, Mike, Taz, Stu, Anthony.  About 17 knots so I swapped it up a bit between the twin tip and the nugget.  Back is still a bit sore and constricting movement.

 2nd day in a row at Brighton.  Rich already on the water, Ant and Stu on the beach.  Got a niggle on my side from soccer, hope it calms down soon.

 Awesome to get out in lockdown.  Met James and Ant down at Brighton for a great little session.  Water was cold, but wind was very consistent.

 Wow.  With the wind blowing north westerly, I set out for a quick kite before lunch.  Having seen windsurfers the day before, I knew it was gonna be epic.  And it was.   Great swell, some nice clean wind and slow moving waves through the bay made for some fantastic ramps and really fun surfing.  Got lots of nice air and so much fun ripping in to the larger sets.  Very picturesque and beautiful water.  Mucked up my landing big time though, tried to land grabbing the line but the kite powered so I let go.  The kite ripped through the window wrapped around my bar and my finger, till it crashed on the other side, giving me a nice little drag down the beach.  Got it back up again and nailed it the second time.

 Met Anthony at Hampton, easy going on 15 knots then a massive storm hit.  Had to try and land the kite in 35 knots, was a bit of an adventure.

 What a joy to have Sonny come along ! He surfed for about an hour, then was keen to have a go with my ad-hoc towing arrangement.  He jumped on the nugget, and I towed him through the surf for a couple of kms.  It was hilarious, he was doing little jumps across the waves, we were laughing the whole way.  Oh and the kiting was spectacular too !
