Crazy day

Crazy frustrating day. Wind looked great, finally got out around 4. Decided that I'd hit the water and brought no land stuff with me to the beach. I decided to fly my 12, like everyone else... by the time i rigged and got out, mother nature tried to play a joke on me. See below. I got up and planing once but never had enought power to move my fat ass against the outgoing tide. On my final attempt I got my feet in the board and my lines when _completely_ slack and my kite just drifted down to earth. Sigh. Worst part is I packed up at 530. See below. Lol. Damn you wind god! Should have been on a 15m charger ;)

Don't feel so bad, today was one of our best wind days in awhile (15-20mph) and I'm stuck at work for 12hrs. :mad:
