So yeah... turned out to be a nice little thursday despite the fact that my bridle line, which the pulley runs along, snapped and my kite ended up wrapped around a tree. It came out of nowhere too! I'm riding 20 yards offshore one minute and the next thing I know, I faceplant in the water and I'm getting kite-looped all the way to the beach. The trees are only 10 yards from the water, so luckly I didn't get pulled onto the beach, although I did still activate my CL safety system just to be safe. At least I got a couple hours of riding in before it happened and the kite was okay! Time to upgrade to the '07 waroo bridle.... :( What a pain in the arse.

Anyone else ride today? Looks like the skyway was nukin'...

Maybe your kite needs tuned???

Man I got to backside at 6 Bryan. I was juiced up on my 15 all night! Heck I could have put on my 13 and still been pretty powered up. You should have hung out for another 30 mins, because it was super nice!!!!! I rode until almost 8 and only reason I got off the water was the sun was setting. Backside, late, and getting dark! No need to explain why to get out of there!

I landed my first board off too!!!!!!! Wooo Hooo!!!!!!
