Marlon and I went out to PTs - the tide was way up, the swell energy was backing down, and the wind had returned to trade flow. There were four wingers out - but the wind was pretty light - I wasn't sure how they were able to keep aloft (but they looked relatively light weight). I am interested in joining the trend - but I want to be an unpaid beta tester (which is what I was doing in the infancy of kiting). I had the same setup as yesterday.
It was harder to catch waves today compared to yesterday. My first few waves my front foot wasn't far enough forward and I breached. I did catch several fun fast wall runs, with some turns (not as many as yesterday) - and those runs made it worth it. I also had a few waves where I made the takeoff - but my front foot wasn't centered and I lost it.
All-in-all this was a weird outing for me (although Marlon seemed to be catching almost everything he paddled for). Probably going to take a break for the next couple of days to heal up all the cuts and scratches (or maybe I'll jump on the Viking...)
