Session 64 of the 2019 season: 7M kite not enough with onshore swell and winds

11:22 AM on Monday, November 4, 2019
Metrobeach Kitesurf
On shore wind and crashing shore break made launching difficult. I tried launching with the 7M and that was a no go.
Going on the 9M and all was good.
Out on the water I headed to the beach for some cleaner swell. Played there for awhile finding some nice organized swell to carve up.
Wind started to get lighter so decided to head back to the launch and call it a day.
About 9-10 kiters on 9-12M kites.
Overall not a bad day, mainly steady south winds 15-30 mph. A period of sun but mostly cloudy with a few raindrops. Temperatures in the mid-40s.

Gear: 7M rigged but not enough, rigged up to the 9M and all was well
Weather: partly cloudy, raindrops, mid-40s
Wind: south winds 15-30mph
TOW: 1 hour
