Perfect weather yesterday, sunny, no rain (finally) and lots of wind. At least on the wind meter. At Pt. Chev it looked a bit quiet, s started with the 6.2 and the Carve, but after a few runs the wind really picked up, so went down a size. That was great, except in the lulls, but there weren't that many. Did some nice jumping, not as high as the sole kiter, more the get the fin out of the water style.
