    Ocean Rodeo ONE-12m 12m
    Stoked with the new kite. Kites out ranged from 7m One, 8m and 10m. I never felt uncomfortable on the 12. It has amazing abillity to absorb the gusts. for those doubters, it is worth demoing a bow kite. the analogy would be: C Kites = 2 line kites and Bow kites = 4 line kites when they were first introduced. Very forgiving.

    Ezzy Wave 5.0
    Awesome day :D Heavy wind all the way up the strait made for big swell and killer port ramps :twisted: . Tried first back loops on port and almost sailed away from two of them :D . So great to finally have a good long sesh. Unfortunately, it ended with the wind dropping and turning west so a few of us had a long annoying schlog to end up downwind of the beach :? . Gotta start remembering the sunscreen! 8)

    Severne Blade 4.7
    Good to get back on the water after a solid 2 or so month dryspell. Felt like a super kook as Super Dave was launching massive kiteloopy spinny things in my geeky winsurfer face. Definately a kiter day out there. Still fun to get wet and dust off the gear. Nice and sunny and quite warm. Saw BWD rip his strap off in a savage endo forward! Good action.

    Perfect little ramps for vulcans...too bad I suck at them. Saw Trevor nail a sweet one handed slidey vulcan. Great to see Kus and The Law going for back loops. Inspired me to try a few lame forwards. A good mellow session to end 4 days in a row.

    Wow that was so fun, totally absorbing. took a while to get used to the "wrong" direction at CB but then surf was better than the normal SE. Was actually underpowered since I set the pigtail long. you notice the higher pressure wind has less power than moist winter wind ... Mostly too gusty to try any big boosts but lots of waves riding. :D

    Nice Lunchtime session. Rigged and sailed the 6.0, although it would have been fine on a 5.0 (depowered 6.0 was hard to handle at times). Sailed the big gear in anticipation of a wind drop - none happened. Top speed 52 kmh!!! Zoom!!!

    :D Rigged up the 5.6 at JR but then the wind got lighter and there was a lot of slogging going on, so I packed up and went back to Gordon's with Mark who said it was much windier there. Turned out to be a good call - 4.7 right to the beach. The first hour made the day worth while with great jumping ramps all over and lots of wind and clean swell on the inside to ride. Woohoo. :D

    Fine way to round out the wknd. Could have been bigger, but the odd micro-set kept it interesting. BWD, professor of wave selection, had the best rides of the day. super flat rivermouth made for smooth tacking and upwind-360s. Kus offered beer to the beerless :D many thanks. a mighty satisfying brew in the post-JR ambiance. Cruised back home listening to All Blues on KPLU. LIfe is good. :)

    Another sunny warm score! Maybe not quite as great as yesterday but then I didn't have much left in the tank :roll: Art, Ruskie, Buddha, MW, BWD. GM was out again today, much fun. Aborted a vertical wall jump when it became obvious no graceful landing was forthcoming...not best spot to do this @point, almost donated my gear in next set :? Underpowered most of day but still fun, trying new shields 8)

    Meh. :) Much much better than not going out at all! Got planing and in straps a couple of times, about 2 knots more would have been nicely powered. So light sometimes all the kites came in, and I often had trouble pivot gybing- I'd broad reach OK, but trying to go further, the board would demand to turn back into the wind. Barely enough to waterstart. One planing/crash gybe. I was last one on the water. Ogden reading 15 g 20 most of this time, maybe we should sail there?
