Well found the top end today of my 6 Reo. No wind meter with me so no sure what the actual speed was. I'm calling 40+gusts.

At my extreme location and its windy indeed. but it looks ok. 30's I guess as I stand on the cliff. Its allways hard to tell because the wind is cross off and the cliffs screw the wind up so its not until your 100m out that you know what till you get clean ish wind.

So. Solo launch fully trimmed down wind of the cliffs. real hard gusts. 15-45 at a guess. its insane punches of wind the kite surges 15-20 feet forward and back at the edge of the window.

Anyway grab board and into the water. Pull off a bit of trim ready to dive the kite and BAM. lofted into the air. Not super high maybe 10 foot. But I'm hauling arse down wind super fast. I smash into the water high speed. Wowa. never had that happen on the little 6 before.

So second board start and I'm going. but there Is sooo much power in the kite. I have to trim it well. Sea its BIG. Very Big. I get out past the breakers and trim more. I'm still overpower. I Decide "this is stupid".

I head back and a monster set rolls in. Tripple me at a guess. But i'm too powered. even trimmed i'm pulled of the wave face with my 6m.

So I scream back into the beach . not time for fluffing around I pull the safety a few meters before I hit the beach.

kite flags out. but there's still too much power to walk the down the line. I jimmy the kite to the waters edge and it gets drowned by a white wash. Yay. I retrieve my kite and sand it heavily.

Ahh a stupid session. One I shouldn't have done. I guess my enthusiasm got the better of my good judgement.
