I Double-Heart Kitesurfing!
Like the title says, I Double-Heart Kitesurfing! I got the call from Mur - at 12pm, she says, “AHHHH!! It’s 20 at Leo!” So, I thought, “Shit, how am I supposed to leave?!!” After pacing all day and interviewing a couple of candidates for a position, I rushed out of work at 430 and headed to Leo. 15-25mph. =) Mur was still recuperating from the poison oak fiasco (what a nightmare - hospitalization, being on steroids for a month, not to mention the antibiotics and the side effects of the steroids) so hadn’t brought her windsurfing gear! She regretted on the beach while I cruised back and forth on the water.
Rigged my Synergy, went out for an hour before it got a bit gusty. I saw Ronnie on the water on 7m Waroo, so knew I’d be good on my 10m. And it also occurred to me that he didn’t fly his arcs anymore, and I wanted Mur to find a kite to learn on, so asked Ronnie about it. Deal DONE! Mur bought Ronnie’s entire quiver of arcs plus silver board. HA! GREAT deal. We went to Ronnie’s pad to pick up the toys. What a nice place! I’m going to sell my place as soon as the market recovers….
Anyhoos, it was nice to be on the water. Cold at first, but eh. I didn’t get to kite during the weekend even though it was stinkin’ hot. Not 40 degrees, so it’s OKAY. FUUUUUUUN… Mur took some pictures too (they are coming sooooon…). I’m still looking for a tiny camera to carry with me on my flights, bike rides, and kite sesh.
