Arriving at Harsens by 3:30 with rain and calm winds. Waited until the rain stopped and the wind turned on. Rigged up the 11M kite and went out for 4 short tacks until the wind died. Again waited and as the rain fell the wind picked up so a quick launch and another few tacks and then back in again. Waited - and finally it picked up so I help launch Dave and then launched myself.
And again the wind fizzled Dave called it a day and I waited - finally at 7 the wind came in for good. Got out and kited for an hour of short tacks due to low confidence in the wind. Some good jumps with the chop lining up and good lofty winds up high.
I wasn't to keen on kiting alone so I played it safe and called it a day soon after Dave left.
