Day 31 of the 2016 season: A long wait finally paid off

Waiting around a few hours paid off. Wind came up from the SE enough for the 13 M Z kite. Not the steadies you would expect but enough up high to play with. Slowly the wind built until a  SW surge came in around 6pm. That was fun for about 20 minutes, that's when it surged again and filled in. All the big kites scrambled to get in including me on my 13M. Deceided to call it a day at that time. Didn't want to over work my knee injury from last weeks windsurfing mishap.
Overall a good day for me, it's been awhile since I had one of these.
Kites sizes ranged from 19 to 12 through out the afternoon.

TOW:  4:30 - 6:30
Gear: 13M Z kite and TT
Water Conditions: boat chop, wave chop, kiteboard chop, disorganized chop, voodoo chop
Weather:  near 90 degrees and sunny
Wind: variable winds from lulls of calmness to surges of 30mph from the SE to SW
Highlight:  big boosting, long hang time, some downwind carving
