Blowing steady over 30 yesterday dead onshore. Waited all day for low tide (4 pmish)...survival flying. It was fantastic. Tore the bridle off 1 side of my 3m Raptor. Always, always!! have a 2nd kite. Pulled out a 3m Hornet, first time ever this foil had lift and lots of it. Took me 15 min to get the balls to step onto my ATB. Never brought the kite down past 11oclock and was still hitting high teens, very scary....landed the kite by bringing it down and directing it back on to a heavy steel grate garbage pail. just sundays beach is full of sand castles and worse motes!!!gotta be xtra careful on sunday eveings....frigin motes. You guys all need to move around here, but then i wouldn't have the beach to myself.
