Don't be a wuss. Sail upwind first then do your down-winder. No need to car shuffle and you improve your upwind skills. It takes about 30 minutes to get 6k upwind on a quad fin surfboard in cross-on conditions.

...you don't need 20+ for a downwinder...in fact, it's great to do it in lighter winds, because you can put on a smaller/faster kite, as you don't worry so much about upwind performance.....at 20+ you shoot upwind anyway...

You aint from around here are ya boy? Very side shore winds most of the time so good luck with that plan if you ever get over to Perf.

Hey Ben. Good thing I didn't take you out with that diving kite the other day or you'd be the shuffle bus wench whilst recovering! Getya next time tho.

I just know that if I cancel every meetings that I have booked due to the green arrows everyday,I may find it very difficult to make an income during summer
