The wind was up early at about 9 am and already white capping. Got on the water on the 121/6.2 combo at 11am and am fully powered up. Went upwind with Henk for an hour and a half of riding into the bay and over to Knob Point. Headed down to the campground at about 1, grabbed a granola bar and got back on the water with the Kombat and 6.2. Within an hour I am pretty overpowered so I switched to a 5.0 and the Kombat. The swell is big and the wind is howling and spray is blowing off of the whitecaps. For the next hour I am a little out of my comfort zone and thinking about rigging smaller then the wind backed off and I switched over to the 6.2 combo again. The Kombat and 6.2 are a sweet pair. At about 5pm I exchanged the Kombat for the Carve and spent the next two hours making reaches. Lots of kiters on the water from 5 to 6 but by 6:30 I am the only one left. After the kiters quit, I made quick run up to the river and a fast downwind reach. At about 7 the wind finally eased off and I decided to call it a day. TOW: 8 hours! EIGHT FRICKIN HOURS! I’d like to thank Ibuprofen and TikiMan!
