Over the last few weeks been able to get out on the water in some mixed conditions. Some of the days have been nuclear some have not been to bad.
I have been trying to push more and more on the water and have been working on he transitions and rotations as well as kite loops. The 12.5 Ion Four really helps in big floaty jumps and makes learning new stuff a breeze.
On one of the days was caught out when wind was 35-40 when forecast 15 so was able to borrow a 5m atom. I went out maxed and started sending it into some powered kite loops. After a few attempts went for a double and nailed it. Started to send it harder to get some more and landed a few with a 3rd loop as was landing riding out super fast and maxed! Stacked it plenty and found out water does hurt!!
Later went out on 9m down the road and wasn’t as powered but boasted some big jumps and sent it for some loops too. The kite was going round and back up bringing you down nice and smoothly.
The last session at the weekend was very odd. The wind was about 5mph just enough to keep kite in sky but the out going tide was so strong that it meant you could ride slightly powered in no wind! The only problem was dropping the board as the board was sucked upwind so quickly! It was great to try this out as the wind was so weak.
Now hear is to Germany for some more sessions.
