So it’s nearly time for me to come back. And I don’t wanna!
The wind here at Kirra is pretty reliable, if only I could say the same for my ability! Averaging 3-4 sessions a week I guess. Had an awesome 5 hours this morning, down the line on head high rights. Got mashed many times, but came up smiling most of the time. Started to feel like I’m riding like I’d be able to, gybing, bottom and top turning etc pretty reliably now too, so smiles all around.
I am missing riding with mates though, it get’s a bit boring self launching and landing every time, and being the only one out - not that I’m posing at them, but it’s nice to see (a few) others out sometimes. I had a kraut come up to me today, and say something as I was setting up to self launch. I got to the bar, then he started trying to pick the kite up. I was shouting and waving my arms at him, but he didn’t get it. In the end I just shouted loud insults at him until he dropped it and wandered off. I s’pect he was trying to help, but you know how it is!
Home next week, pour me a hot water bottle, and dust off my winter suit!
Have put some pics up for you, but dunno if they show up!
