 Details First spring session at Gordon's and it did not disappoint. When Dave C. and I arrived we could see the wind line and white caps way out there so we took our time getting setup. Given the low tide we parked near the windsurfer public beach entrance and walked up the beach to Tugwell rather than walking the creek. We were the only ones there and the beach looked huge b/c of the low tide. Although I brought my 12m to the beach, by the time we were pumping kites the wind line had come in and it was blowing. I launched Dave and then self-launched and headed out. The wind was fantastic and the sea was not too confused or choppy. I did find some nice breaking waves near the shore and did my best to ride a few. It wasn't too long into my session when the wind really started pumping and the 10m was too much. I came in, self-landed, and went to fetch my 8m. Dave C. also came in and did the same. We went back out and I found the second half of my session a little frustrating as, after a while, the wind both decreased and got somewhat punchy. So the 8m was at once not enough kite and then plenty of kite. I burned around a bit more but decided to come in and call it a day. It was a beautiful day.
