Day 35 of the 2015 season: Harsens Kiteboarding Rocks - An amazing 52 miles of tracks

TOW:   4.5. hours Kiteboarding between 10:00-4:15 

Gear:  11M kite with140 Mako board
Water Conditions:   Mainly WSW winds made conditions unusually choppy but good chop for jumping
Weather:   50s, cloudy
Wind:  12-32 from the WSW, mostly solid conditions
Highlight:   Severely overpowered made the conditions very lofty. Numerous chop hops that turned into lofty jumps. Also got some good stand alone lofty boost jumps.  An amazing total of 52 miles of tracks - that's got to be a personal record for me.
Schooled:  Jumps galore 

Overall a great day with the exception of the channel slicks were choppy. Nice downwind runs in waves fully powered the kite stayed still as I carved through the 2-3 foot swells. Only regret was missing a great windsurf session.
Almost the whole local click/crew was out. Keith, Larry, Harry, Chuck, Millard, Chris, Craig, Scott, Trish and more.
