More fun at Dougs. The Buttertorium was firing and I even tried DW360s for the first time. Loads of power with the 5.0 though--maybe not the best for learning them. I couldn't decide how best to keep carving once I shifted my front feet in front of the mast to spill the eventual backwindedness so I would just get shellacked at 180. One backie attempt, just to scare away a kiter that was perpetually too close.
