The 1000 Day Holiday

Well,

Went out today, first on my Yarga 13m. Was probably 19knots gusting 25 and climbing.
Was ok for a while, then I broke my Board leash. seriously big gusts coming through at this stage. So I then came in and put up my 9mYarga.

Wind ended up being 25+ knots gusting 35+ bad bad bad!

Anyway, Managed to do a back roll. (And i think a kiteloop, cant confirm that tho)

Landed it too hehehehe

The weekend just been has begun my progression into boosting jumps & transitions (using the kite to lift you off the water, a transition being a change of riding direction on landing). Anyone that saw me at the beach and in fact for the entire weekend found the size of my permanent grin quite disturbing.

I was managing to land 50% of the jumps, not bad considering the wind was really gusty 20+knots and I was out on my 13m Yarga.

I also finally got some kiting sunnies. Absolutely love them, they stop the spray 95% of the time and its great I didn’t even have inflamed eyes after 2 full days at the beach.
Talked to another kiter, whos had multiple ‘insert here – name for growth on eye from excess sun’ removed. He can still see which is positive for me.

Finally uploaded the remaining roadtrip pictures…

Aussie East Coast Roadtrip Pictures

And to rub salt in the wound, I turned my camera on again when I got back to sydney, and it works again. Ropable. So many cool things/people/places not snapped. Sigh. I will just have to do it all again.

Well I have now secured a new Job.

Professional Services/Account Manager for a large Network Management company.
No recruiters were used/harmed/paid in the scoring of this job.

Looks like I will be getting around a bit as well. I will be covering Australia/NZ.
