Went out to Wood Neck this evening. Wind was too far South, I should have been up at Chappy, but I was already at Wood Neck so I went ahead and rigged. Got out through the wind shadow fine and had a good time. Did a couple decent raileys off waves, and did the biggest boost I have ever done.
Wind gusted right when I sent the kite and nailed a wave, and I ended up really high. Based on the hangtime vs. some 20′ jumps I’ve done, I want to say I was pushing 30′ but there were no witnesses and I have no real way of telling. I swung the kite back-and-forth two more times before I hit the water, each with a little bump I think. After 7 or 8 seconds of wondering how I was going to get down, I somehow managed to land it and ride off victorious.
Getting back through the wind shadow sucked though. I cut my foot really bad on a barnacle or maybe glass. I’m not riding Wood Neck again unless the wind is really West.
