Got to the estuary as Shem was packing up, he had been out maxed out with his 9m kite so I rigged my 5m sail and little wave board. Nicely powered to start with against the tide, but a little underpowered with the tide at first, The wind then picked up a little to give me a nice hour or so well powered up, to the extent where I cam in and put on some more outhaul at one point as I was now pretty well powered. It only lasted an hour or so though and then started easing off just as Larry got on the water with his 9m kite... He managed a few well-powered up runs but the wind soon dropped back off so we both packed up.

Good for an hour or so and I tried quite a few unsuccessful duck gybes and even a body drag and a carving 360... Didn't make any of them of course.
