first season of the season has began ... steady NW 30km. too cold for the water in my books but got in a sweet 1hr ride (mtn board + syn) after my 13hrs of work.

good talking to Monty and Dino's Skirt on skype too.

Well ... an evening of firsts.
First kite & ATB ride since breaking my wrist. First ride of the year. First time getting skunked :lol: got about a dozen runs back and forth, barely powered before the wind died right off :( I need that 14m Montana after all :D

glad everyone's getting wind, we just finished up with our wind this past weekend. 4 days of strong stuff! Still stretching the soreness...

Didn't get enough of a work out to even get stiff hands :(
Started out puttering around like a grannie and was like WTF dude suck it up then got some speed up - and then the wind died :lol: should have broken out the PowerBlast but I was #@%$#!ing out at the wind ... thought it was stronger than I could handle. Turned out it wasn't even enough to ride.

My kite instincts need rebooting after winter :lol:

Much more fun tonight - I stayed out riding till my fingers were so cold they ached like a mofo for about 20 minutes after I got into my warm car :wee:
