Kiteventure

 Woke up and was surprised by the wind strength.  Headed straight down to Aspendale and made the most of the westerly - about half the time on the twin tip and half the time on the nugget.  Joyful !

 Similar weather patterns to yesterday, got to the beach on a lull but we could see craziness on the horizon. Still put up the big kite and it was full adventure.  On the way down getting big air, then flat water and ramps on the way out from the north side of green point.  Heaps of fun.  Not the biggest waves I've seen there, but the flat water and waves makes for a lot of joy. Headed back up to Hampton, got some serious big air before Garry inverted his kite.  Tried the toeside board retrieval which worked a treat - will be using that more in future.  Fantastic session.

 Headed to Hampton with James but no wind so we decided to go pay Taz a visit.  He is still recovering from surgery to his shoulder.  Wind was light but the forecast was so ominous that I was a little nervous putting the 10 up.  And within about 10 minutes it came in heavy.  Lots of jumps, good surf, wicked session if somewhat totally overpowered at times.  Caught up with taz for a bit afterwards at his place where he made everyone coffees. I've got a weird bump on top of my left foot - seems like bone spur or something so I'll need to go to the docs.  Doesn't impeded anything at all but just looks strange!

 Momentous day - landed the triple backroll on the preferred side.  After about 13564238 attempts I've finally landed it.  Wrapped. Still struggling to recapture the forward 360 transition with kiteloop so still stuff to work on. Was at Hampton with Stu and Ant.  Great wind.

 First hit out for the new mazda 6 at Hampton beach.  Just enough for the nugget, lots of fun.  Worked on transitions in my weaker direction - clockwise.   Worked out a good backroll - kiteloop to toeside transition on the surfboard, lots of fun and easy.

 Getting nice air with the nugget and rotational jumps, but unfortunately the garmin broke off at some stage.  Time for a new one !

 Rock solid 20 knots at Hampton so we went up to the sea wall, tried to get the run up and jump happening.  Heaps of small racing boats coming in to juggle around with.  Did some nice high front 360's and landed some back 720s.  Met Martin who is just starting out.
