So its a glorious 8m day. nice swell. some 1.5 head bombs coming through.

I'm in the zone boosting, riding waves feeling the zen.. I'm riding the 1.5 dumper no hands on the bar being supremely confident.

Ok wave is closing out, time to grab the bar and loop my way to safety. So grab and fishpole the bar...

Nek minut....

Slam. I jack hammer my kite straight into the pitching face!!!!! DOH I grabbed and fishpole the wrong side of the bar...

Obviously I'd chosen to do this on the first wave of the set. So me and the kite get washing machined for the rest of the set.

I wash into the beach. The kite is literally tied in a not.

Magically, absolutely no damage! Lines aren't even tangled. I relaunch and continue and awesome session.

Yes, Well,..... you can probably simulate that experience if know what I mean.
Just turn down and drive deep as hard and as fast as you can. make sure you get that hard slapping sound when your donkey deep in the impact zone!
