Blown Away @ Kite Beach

Post by Charley »

East Northeast Trades Today @ Kite Beach 30mph!!! Not so good for a guy with a 12 and a 16 for a quiver. 7, 8, & 9m were the call. 10m's were coming in wimpering. Needless to say I've got plenty of good shots of the pro's going huge.

If you can't do a 720 forward handle pass 20 feet in the air you had better stay to the beginner end of the beach. Naish and Cabrinha seem to be the kites of choice out here. I guess its universal that the local guys are the stoke that gets everyone involved. Pete and Robby certainly have earned it.

Well enough of dis and dat, quite a humbling experience. Time to search out some local kine grinds and suckem up!
