It's a great spot for wavekiting but it not a beginner spot on double head high days. There were three days of double head high, two days of head high and 2 days waist high. Best time to ride was in the afternoon when the tide is low. The wave are clean when the tide is low. Everyday, we rode small kites to big kites on surfboards and twin tips.
This trip was mostly meeting with all the reps from all around the world and R&D team testing out the new kites/boards. I can't wait to show you guys the new 2011 Best kites and boards. There has been HUGE improvement on the kites' construction, where material are set on the kites, the direct feel of the kite and each size are different.
See you guys out on the water soon.
