5-3-12 lincoln Beach 16m no wetsuit

[Jake-wright]

I was one of the last to arrive at around 5 pm. wind was pretty steady kites ranged from 11-17 riding all sorts of boards. I pumped my big havoc and rode 134 twintip powered nicely. My friend steve (who got me into kiteboarding initially) was there, but he only has a 13.5 kahoona and weighs like 240 lbs. so he was struggling for power. I switched him kites later in the evening. I've only ever ridden liquid force kites, but i'm sold on that kahoona. It was way smoother than my havoc, way more gentle and although 2.5 sq meters smaller pulled me every bit as easily I haven't even gotten to the re-launch. Anyone want an 09 havoc 16? great day at lincoln, i was too lazy to put on my wetsuit and i honestly didnt regret it, the water is very tolerable and the air was warm enough that i rode for about 3 hours and didn't get cold.

Thanks billy for grabbing my board for me...that saved me a lot of body dragging!!!
