Rain? We don't need no stinkin' rain!

Supposed to be a typhoon thrashing the islands but while it dull and dingy outside, there's not much wind. Check the interweb for Tsu... looks OK. Might even not get the rain that's forecast cos they sky looks clear-ish.

Head out early (damn work) and get on to the water at the Yacht Harbor at just before 11. Bit tough getting out through the waves - dumping right on the shore, one after another. That nailed me a few times today...

But otherwise had a lot of fun. Some good jumps and amusements on the waves. Some nice rotations with good air and even a few kite loop back-rolls.

Weather was reported as 14-15 knots, gusts to 25; 21˚C at 70%.
Wind felt like underpowered and annoyed 5%, underpowered but coping 15%, ok-powered 60%, woo-hoo 20%.

What I learned today...

• I really like flying the 10m XB.
• Loving the Origin!
• I should really ask the guys who take photos to send them to me.
• You can survive an off-axis launch and rotate to land safely.
• Getting the board ripped off your feet and splashing down... do a bomb! so you take up less water and don't hit the bottom.
• You don't need to wear a t-shirt.
• I have GOT to get a better spreader bar!!!
