i gotta dig out some photos of nz wave nationals a few years ago @kina - of riders climbing over and around huge boulders in 30 knots to get to waves at kina low tide for their next heat. I remember doing a turn and finding out i was actually on top of a huge boulder that sucked dry!
the waves sucked for comp, like surfing on flat water with a fat bump behind, but the day before - golden session
Another kitesurfing AK anywhere comp coming up soon in NZ...

hehehe... yeah you gotta watch that.
Small swell compared to you lads....
Weird looking nose on your board man. is that or some backwards riding action?
If it was backwards riding action, I wouldnt have a broken board sitting at home.
I picked this old girl up for $30 bucks with no fins- She's 5 foot 8 & 17 wide. Perfect size for my weight of 82kg. I snapped nose off in my first surf, fixed it for my second surf, snapped the nose off again, and cracked the rails.
I'll fix her again, shes like a old wine, gets better with more q cell.
This was a fun day too :-)
were you straightening out or going for that lip?
sweet looking wave by the way
Gnarloo?
Damn I've forgotten where that was taken if you have been there you will probably recognize it, I don't think there is any need to name it here.
^^^^^^Your new harness looks like it's working well? ^^^^^^^^^^
I tuck the adjustment straps back through the clip to neaten it up on one side, and cut the length on the other
some big waves and wind whipped up some sketch conditions, south coast nsw...
