With the easterly winds we had to find a place to kite. The entire northern sound side had offshore and lite winds forecasted. South of us in the Buxton area the forecast was for better kitable winds with side shore wind direction on the ocean.
A quickie session due to marginally wind conditions. Mainly stayed on the outside trying to stay upwind as much as possible. Choppy conditions with the occasion KP size swell. I was able to ollie to toeside and then carve down the swell on heelside and then toeside carve on the next swell. I could do this once because I got to far downwind and had to struggle to work my way back up. Dan did it right by doing a couple of short down winders. Overall most of the crew had a good experience for first time ocean kiting.
