daily grind SW 4 days in a row


since thurs. roughly 16hours on the water. afternoon/late afternoon.

out everyday 2-6/7/8pm very steady 15-20mph one or two days may have been 20-25mph.

3-4 ft swell, a little further out 5-6ft rollers and crazy chop

in the sound washing machine chop 2ft peaks everywhere , some spots where smoother some flat spots with boiling current underneath.

wind data, thurs-sunday (i think this is friday)

serious sailing folks trekking out 4-6miles a leg, lots of marine life turtle , rays, dolphin and sharks.

140 sprint rides me out and brings back without complaint.

13M ExA hybrid pulled every sessions had to replace the bridle pulleys and some line that traveled through the pulleys. used RONSTAN 19 series . very smooth now , i love the BB's feel. the plastics lasted around 150+ hours they were smaller ronstan bushed. replaced line segment with DACRON 1/8" poly cord.

converted NAVI bar to regular four line set up. haven't seated the lines but its coming.

crazy ON!, callus thumbing, bone aching ,all-you-can-stand good time .

the other side of the ExA bridal broke on a run

Kite actually flew very well with the broken line at the pulley which is on the LE. EVEN THROUGH A FEW JUMPS, THE FLAILING PARTS EVENTUALLY GOT MY ATTENTION AND RAN IN.

simple repair as before, just glad the unit is stable with that wear point failure. i got this kite in april?? and both pulleys and bridal @ the pulleys have failed ...around 200+ hours on the unit total.
