Day 78 of the 2015 season: Back at the home launch, Metro Beach fun lifty day.

A warm October week day brought out the crowds up to 15 kiters and 8 windsurfers.
The steady lofty winds made an excellent day for the kiters. Windsurfers were a hit and miss with the fluky occasional on the water winds.
I launched from the beach with a generally a steady wind up high. Kited there for 4.5 hours with one break when my kite fell and couldn't relaunch. Lucky for me I stayed near the beach and the wrap up, the walk and relaunch were irrelevant.
Fun day with the easy jumping lofty winds, jumps were so easy and effortlessly to do.



Gear:   11M Rally kite with140 TT
TOW:  1:30 - 5:00
Water Conditions:   Lofty conditions, hardly a white cap to be seen most of the time.
Weather: mostly sunny near mid-60s
Wind:   Wind was off the water, Mainly south winds with gusts to 25 mph up high
Highlight: The lofty conditions made for some big and easy jumps. Huge, (for me), 180 ollies to toeside
