I just got back from riding redington...
A BIT underpowered with the waves/chop... but man, this is my first time actually riding waves(if you can call them that) and it's hella fun...
What I'd have to do, was get enough power by jumping, then heading upwind into a wave, carve it for a little, then rip upwind into another wave and use that as a jump...
After doing it a few times, I finally crashed... just RAMPED off of one wave and not sending the kite... hooked in raley onto my face... crashed the kite and a TON of seaweed got on my lines and it was so heavy the kite wouldn't relaunch.
I needed a 16 for today, but only had a 13
Oh well, it was still fun...
