Spectacular wind. There were 5 other windsurfers & two kiters, too, though all but Carrie & Pete were packing up as I was arriving. One of the kiters was a 13 year old ripping it up and catching some great air with his dad. After my short session -- I whiteknuckled my way over some of the most knarly and random chop I've ever seen in my life -- I watched Pete & Carrie's young kid and his friend so they could catch some time together. They looked great, nearly syncronizing a couple of jumps and coming in to check on their child and jibe in the shallows and shore break. Fun to watch.
