Must add my 11m GK Sonics to my toybox...

Although it was a totally crap session, I learned 3 important lessons:

1. Get up early enough to catch low tide. Don\'t launch 3hrs 15 before high tide when 3 hrs before HT you need to be off the water

2. The cleat for the GK Sonics power/depower line is TOTAL PANTS. It happened at Borth and happened again here, the kite sheeted right out then dropped out of the sky

3. I MUST inflate the main bladder more

So you can guess... launched way too late, the cleat gave out, dropped the kite, then got in a mess, then got caught out by the tide. A total pants session but a dam good learning process.
