What a great day! Again wind and sunshine on Dolly! Perfect 9m weather ;-)
As expected raleys didn't came to me as a natural progression from unhooking.... hmmmm.... there was a lot of crashing and loosing the board and probably freaking out everyone else around.
After a while I just settled for a nice session doing the stuff I know I can do and just enjoying it.
Towards the end when only Oscar and I were left on the water I decided to go for it and try my very first kiteloop....
Now I know these things:
- It hurts like hell when you chicken out half way trough
- the impact vest is a must have
- adrenaline rush is enormous
Well, I just say first time I tried I was well above my kite and got so scared I stop pulling, kite hit the water and I dropped like a stone hitting very hard... Would never do it again!
I made only 3 attempts and I didn't land any, but it was fun trying.

Ghhrrr! love your determination. And I used to think I knew that the forecast could be great even if it said crap on windguru! :D
No way you're doing kiteloops and raileys! (I'm off pumping up muscles for the next session)! ;)
No way is right. I'm NOT doing raileys and NOT doing kiteloops. I tried and got nowhere, specially with my landings :) You are save - no worries there!
Hey - A try is a great step towards success ;)
Hey Kasia hope all is well, great to hear you are trying the unhooked stuff now.
Hope to catch you guys soon!
