Day 19 of the 2014 season: A quickie kite session on the new Mako

A quickie session on the Mako and I'm impressed.
I found that it smooth's out the chop, back leg not getting tired, no tip splash and carves deep into the water. Pulled off an ollie to toe side and then a quick heel side turn, it really digs in deep.
Kind of a lite wind day so I had a hard time keeping the toe side tacks going.
Eventually wind died to zero - had to walk in from shallow bowl area,
Overall a fun session with the water and air at manageable temperatures.

Highlight of the day:  New Mako 140 board - first time using it
TOW:   1 hour 11:00-12:00
Gear: Mako 140 Board
Conditions:  1 foot chop
Weather:  Mostly cloudy 60s
Wind:  SSE to 20 mph - squally winds with storms in the area
Schooled:  New board used - It's impressively smooth in the chop.
