Lovely afternoon for a mellow cruise on my Tiki board. Had an excellent session with one mishap where I got downwind of the Tiki and could not seem to body drag back to it. It doesn't have a lot of volume (its like a flat plank) and sits low in the water so I don't think it gets pushed downwind very much. I suppose I also have to face the fact that my body dragging technique may very well be rubbish. The GPS track seems to confirm this ;-(. I got assistance from a fellow kiter who pushed the board downwind of me. (Thanks Simon!). When I got home, I fished my old GoJoe out of storage and will fix it to the board and see if that helps me at all. Good to see a small but dedicated crew out for a late day cruising session.
