Day 38 of the 2015 season: Kiteboard craziness and Windsurfing bliss

Happy Memorial Day 2015

Great waterman day, started out with an hours worth of roller kiting in lite winds. Then chilled until 1:30 when the winds picked up enough to think about rigging. Craig, Keith and I rigged at the beach due to the craziness at the official launch site. We all had an excellent session until 4:15ish when winds up to 35MPH were just to much for me to handle on the 11M kite. Craig rigged down to 9, Keith had to go and I took a break. By 5:00 we were done and heading back to official launch site.
I decided to rig my 5.7 and do some windsurfing. Ended up with a near effortless WS session from 5:30-6:30 and no regrets today....love Windsurfing glad I got out with the MB originals.
