It was great weekend on the west coast in Co. Mayo! Another 2 days in my short wetsuit, 5 sessions all together this year :)
The wind wasn't at it's strongest - enough to try few frontrolls on Saturday, but hardly enough to do a jump on Sunday...
Since my 12m Vegas 07 is gone I had to be super nice to Gavin to be able to use his 08 gear... landed with his 12 Vegas, while he was on 14m.
Light conditions gave me a chance to try my first loops on Sunday! I "nailed" downloop waterstarts and then downloop slide turns and downloop turns from the toeside. Had lots of fun and couldn't stop smiling! It's good to try new stuff in light winds, now I know how it feels like to fishpole the bar and how the kites goes around, I just couldn't imagine it before! it should be easier to go out and try in real winds :)
The superstar of the weekend was Dee, she did absolutely amazing - from wobbly waterstarts to confidently riding both sides, starting going upwind and trying first turns! She got over the fear of a big kite and was able to relaunch each time. Big snaps for Dee!!!
Amanda was getting her first toeside rides and Caroline was doing heelside to toeside turns!
Girls rulez!!! :)
