Pinaroo Point


Back to Kiting today yehaaa! The wind was light and consistant, the water mostly flat, heaven.
Im keen to try out Safety Bay and i think that i will get a private lesson and practise down there where i can so easily stand up and walk to my board instead of using all my energy chasing it in the surf!
I learnt today that i need to get some more experience with knowing how much to 'power up' my kite- to make it respond better in lighter wind. There was one guy there who's kite i helped launch and it was 15 metres! - i almost got caught and went up with it! Thats more than twice the size of mine, so no wonder it was hard to move with mine. So that made it a bit tricky to stay going for long, but i did manage to get up and cruising a few times. It's just like golf- all you need is one good cracking swing and you'll always come back for more no matter how much time you spend looking for your ball in the scrub!

It was such a gorgeous day on the water. We live in the best country in the world xo
