I can turn around more betterer now......lol


Was out again today, imagine that...Winds and seas have settled down a little... Wind 15-20 30 degrees cross shore, I'm on my trusty pulse 12....

On my out to sea runs I have a bit of trouble timing my turns in between the waves.... On the shoreline run the turns are much easier in the flat 6" water...

In the waves is it easier to turn on the face of a wave or the back of a wave... I had some success w/ both but I think it was just luck....

When I could make a few turns in a row, I was making headway upwind.

And as usual only kiter out.....

keep at it! once you get past the 40-60 hour mark things really smooth out.

the waves, swell, tides and current are always bringing different looks and feel to a session. some conditions will be great, others will humble you and some punish you.

try to realize growth comes from all


BTW really shallow water and injury are good friends ...go past the break and work out the transitions on top.
