Yup, 4 days this week for us.
...And I got shown up by the pup, dammit. Of course he was on a 2011 F-One Bandit 14m and big board, I was on the old Peterbilt- Contra 17m and midsize board, That thing pulls like a beast, but once the wind gets just a tad too light, you can't keep it in the air. After it fell out of the sky in a loooong lull, I ended up deciding to swim instead of getting drifted to east elephant snout. At least he was nice enough to swing by to check on me before going upwind again. It was a nice day for a swim, I guess. One of these days I'm gonna get to fly that new kite (Yeah, Billy- I'm the one what bought it... One day you're gonna end up letting your kid on the good stuff while you ride the leftovers, too...)(and it'll be worth it)
Maybe the 12m wind will come in tomorrow...
Any day of kiting is a good day. Kiting with your kid? A great day!
