Posted: Fri Nov 07, 2014 9:23 amBit of a wild and wooly session for me. Launched the 17 alright, but by the time I made it to the water I was riding a bucking bronco. Went out for a mostly survival session. Fully de-powered but still scary overpowered. Was afraid to pull the trigger but the swells were really big so it was fun to stay on the water. I decided to go in and as I got close to shore I got lifted and tea bagged twice. I was going for the release but the kite went to the neutral position above me by itself so I didn't have to. Good times.
