Can someone tell me that it was still too windy for my 12m kite at 4pm so I can feel better about not going? I'm still trying to get her indoors to sign off on a second smaller kite.
The 12 woulda been too big today.... I was on an 8 and those 40 knot gusts were getting a little sketchy at the top end. Other than that, best session I've had in ages. :)
Everyone went home at 4:30pm... Just 3 or 4 of us left after about 5pm. I think we were all on 11s or 12s by then (although well powered - I was halfway trimmed for a lot of it).
Earlier in the day was certainly smaller kite weather - I got there at noon after the biggest winds and was still well lit on my 10m. I'm also ~90kgs.
Superb day.
