Day 38 of the 2014 season: Milner Beach Surprise Session

 

Milner Beach Surprise Session:

Gear for the day

I was out SUPing in perfectly calm conditions with practically zero wind or a slight wind from the NE. Then suddenly the wind notched up a bit and paddling into the wind got a little harder. Then 5 minutes later it pickup with white caps starting to form, it's a good thing I was upwind so I turned around and enjoyed the downwind run back home.
Put the SUP away and headed to the beach to rig my 11 M kite. Rigged and ready to go but the launch was a tricky one  - luckily the wind direction was just right so I could launch between the boat hoist and the floating dock.
A marginally session at best - used the 150 board
due to the marginally conditions.
