Headed to Wadell north of Santa Cruz yesterday. Winds were near 8 knots when we got there about 11:30am. Flew the Guerrilla 13m on the beach and the
winds steadily rose to to 17 knots with gusts near 20 by 3 pm.
This was my first bout on this kite as well as first time on a depower and my brand new 60cm PL zero 7 with 27 m lines. Setup and launched just like
the PL vid details it.

No problem launching and the rest was history. Spent a total of 3 hours with 1 short break playing with depower, great scuds, got air several times
and work on kite control in many positions. Never lost control or crashed even once.
Depower is awesome and the the ability to let go of the bar and just have the kite sit there is phenomenal. I'm looking forward to the PL Charger
soon to be released as it looks to really turns quick which is what I was craving yesterday. Caution LEIs were by far the most used kite out on the
water yesterday.

Wadell is all about Caution. You won't make any friends flying an arc there.

People there were cool and didnt have any PITA rangers to deal with.

I used to surf there years ago. Great spot. Looks like you had a fun time. Kudos.
