great day indeed, i did get scared once when i stepped on a flounder/stingray i could tell by the wiggle... most likely a flounder but still spooked me. those barbs can cripple a man for weeks

winds were dead at Surfside until about 1pm, and then like someone flipped on a switch, instant 15+mph winds, nice tides, nice water, perfect in the springsuit

i got some decent 15' airs on the 16m Thruster, its definitively the Ferrari of 16m "leis"
you have to keep the thruster moving, its like a 13 year old ADHD kid, the second you stop paying attention to it its on the other side of the window.

all and all great day of kiting (a much needed one).

at one point treble and i were neck and neck racing down the coast line , i think i might have pulled ahead of him at one point, was a good race. buggy v kiteboard

kiteboards have more low end torque kind of like me having the 4:56 rear end and buggy having the 3:42
