Finally, after a long wait I had the opportunity to snatch a couple of hours kiting on the lake yesterday afternoon. The wind was not perfect, but was fun. A couple of knots more an would have been perfect. Went using crossbow 12 meter and custom 128 board- if only I still had the 136 from last year I would have been fine.
The water level of the lake is still high from the September & October rains, which were very heave this year, and the beach is a bit skanky. The same kids I trained up last year for assistance with rigging, launching, landing and derigging are all still there and haven't forgotten a thing.
Here's a video I dug up which shows the end of the last kite season. Although conditions here are amazing, unfortunately there aren't many shops to replace broken gear...
