Session 61 of the 2018 season: Esch Beach - a confused lake full of giant swells

Gear: 9M Naish Pivot kite with TT Mako board
TOB:    1 hour, 3:00-4:00
Winds:   15-40 SW-SWS-W
Weather:  Sunny, 51 degrees at launch time   
Surface:  Confused 
Highlights: Checked out  Frankfort beach, too gnarly and no one there.
Went to Esch beach and it seemed a tad tamer. So I rigged up the 9M for a 
gnarly session, confused swell, gusty clocking gales. 
A quickie session that I must admit wasn’t all that much fun. Swell coming from 3 different directions, winds gusting from 15-40 mph. I couldn’t get into any rhythm. Jumping not good, even slashing the inside swell wasn’t right.
About the only good thing was it did get sunny with 51 degrees at launch time.
