Arr it was amazing! wind against tide = some nice waves in plymouth sound!! Our first experience of propper wave jumping the 12, my WOOOOORD its was fun!!!   Best point when it goes up, all light, no steering - bounces back down and tom yells, maaaate the rudder was fully out the water off that wave.............. ***********!!!!!!!!!!

Our gybes have something to be desired though in those conditions - hats off to our southern hemi guys who do that in bigger swell!

The foot loops (Aquastrap) wernt on the hardest setting - they are now though!! least they did their job on the ankle saving front!

& sadly it was only 17knots, was too bumpy to drive it hard! on the head cam shots - you can get a quick glimse of the end of the pole and how high it points, also behind the kite through the main of the angles of the land!!! Shame the camera doesnt have a wider angle lense for head cam footage!

Another bit of ATC 2000 footage, this time strapped to the top of the Europe mast in last weekend's windy stuff.  To save anyone pointing it out I know I hike with my toes pointed in, old habits and all that.

I want a go at that surfing, although could be a bit expensive if you couldn't get off the wave and got dumped on the surf.
