Went to Wood Neck at 9 this morning and kited until 4. Wind was up and down all day, but overall I had an excellent time. I landed two frontrolls in the morning, and did some big boosts in the afternoon. On my last tack of the day, I tried doing a triple or quadruple backroll, but got disoriented, ended up looping the kite, and hit the water harder than I’ve ever hit before. It knocked the wind out of me, and I couldn’t breathe for a while. Somehow during the confusion my kite inverted, or did something weird. I couldn’t relaunch it, and it kept just looping in the power zone. I was about 1/2 mile offshore, so I ditched my board and plowed downwind until I got close enough to the beach to activate the Oh-Shit Handle. Once I got my kite and bar situated on the beach, I swam back out looking for my board. After about 15 minutes of padding around looking for it, I spotted it! Talk about finding a needle in a haystack. I’m fine and so is all my gear, so I’m calling it a successful kiting session. I’m glad I was at Wood Neck instead of Chappy.
