Fantastic session with strong wind and only a few lulls and punchy gusts. I am glad I opted for the 12m as it was always there for me as I tried a number of tacks. I am happy to say I got a couple of them with respectable form. Early in my session there was some nice swell walls to ride and slash but as the tide fully came in it got more choppy. I had a number of nice shore-side gybes that were fully powered and are so thrilling as the kite comes around, makes an awesome noise, and pulls me through the turn with verve. So fun!! Good to share the water with j_dog, Peter and a few other kiters.
