Yep, a nice session at Pinnas. A 30 minute sesh on the Ozone 10m C4 freestyling, then a 45 minute sesh on the 10m Ozone Catalyst and North 6' WAM in the waves at Little Island, then another 20 minute session on the North Select with 10m Ozone Catalyst.

I was pretty powered in the end. Fun! ......

First kite for a while and am happy.

2.5hrs at hells and 2 other kites out . Some very big heavy waves coming through at times. Got smashed by a big 1 at north hells and held down for a while untill the kite regained power and hauled my drowning ass up and out into oxygen. It is a good feeling to breathe again. 30kn today will be fun

Mal, going to be up your way end April.........maybe we have chance to catch up....did you do know that the same brick layer built our homes?

Will try a kite in the Abrolhos, but may have to stick to snorkling which is ok too.

Shhhh!

Dont tell anyone bout the kiting, I 'd hoped they had all forgotten about it and taken up jetski-ing or doll collecting.

I know we are spoilt but i do enjoy the times when there are less than 50 kites between Floz and Brighton. Probably just makes me old, farked and grumpy.

Yeh was good. I reckon the sess @ the back of the island was the highlight.
