Day 78 of the 2016 season: Back to Back HI for a repeat of yesterday

A repeat of yesterday with the exception of the middle channel slick was better with the WNW winds. In fact Craig and I spent over an hour playing in the slicks. Eventually the wind turned more toward the west and it was harder to hug the shore/shallow area of slick. But still well worth the tough ride to it.
Using the 6.5 again while others were on 9M - it's a fun, snappy kite. Plenty of power to do everything I wanted it to do. Felt like it upwinds better then my Z kites.
Another cold, 40-42 degree day, not feeling it at all with the Patagonia suit.
A peak of 8-10 kiters showing up.
Overall another nearly epic Harsens Island session.

Looking cold out there
