Day 39 of the 2017 season: Esch Beach cures the kiteboarding blues

TOB: 3:45 - 5:45, 2 hours non-stop riding
Gear: 11M Z1 and Mako TT
Water conditions:  small SW swell with some clean inside waves, water temp nearing 70 degrees
Wind:  Up to 30 mph from the SSW
Weather: Mostly warm sunny, mid 70s
Highlights: Nice sesh carving up the inside clean swell.  Lofty conditions on the outside.
It felt good to be back in the water - It's been over 2 weeks since the last recordable kiteboarding session.

 A 200 yard walk upwind from the crowded Esch Beach I found an uncrowded launch site.
