A stroll down Grayland Beach WA


A stroll down the 2.8 mile stretch that was open to us from the "tree" to buggy camp. wind was somewhere between 18 and 25. Not sure, never measured it! But at times the soft sand was blowing. I was on my V2 13 trimmed about 1/2 way or so going for a chilaxing ride, but the kite _wanted_ to go a whole lot faster than I was letting it :)
