nice, i had a good sesh at redington beach. some nice kickers there.

fully powerd on my 12, super litt at some times.

i guess it was better up north :D

i started on a 13m fuel and ended the day powered on a 11m fuel with enough juice to hit some pretty good kite loops....

btw, Tom.... thats one tuff board.... i hit atleast 25-30 kiteloops today... and havent broke it yet :)

Yeah my 12 would have been perfect but Danny had it so I was on a 9... the lulls were not enough to have fun.

tom, you would have been perfectly powered on your 9m up north...
brian at 180lbs was litt on his 10m SB3, and i was powered on an 11m Ckite.....

6hrs of kiting and im toast, i feel it in the morning :)

Raul is right on!! I don't do downwinders very ofter but that was the best ride I ever had. Only the 3 of us kiting the whole way. Very few boats. Glassy water and excellent wind for the 13 M until we got to the very end when it really cranked up and we were all too tired to have any more fun!!!
