Day 40 of the 2017 season:A small window of time for westeries with a launch from the beach

Launching from the beach with the WSW- WNW wind direction. I got lucky launched during a WSW pulse of wind. Headed out and stayed out where the wind was waffling between WSW-W-WNW. Winds were fairly steady but shifty with some moments of nearly full depower on my 13M.
Good lofty conditions, excellent chop hop ollies heading into to 2-3 foot swell.
Overall a lucky session, lucky that I made it in with out dropping the kite on the inside with the shifting, dying winds. A quickie hour and it felt good, much overdue.

TOB: 10:45 - 11:45 One hour
Gear: 13M and Mako TT
Water conditions:  2 -3 foot chop
Wind: WSW - WNW estimated gust to 30. Had to stay out a few hundred yards where the wind was the steadiest.
Weather:  Mostly sunny mid - 80s
Highlights: The 13 Z was at it's high end, thus boosting was big time, long with soft landings.


One hour window of opportunity from 10:45 - 11:45
