Went for a kite yesterday afterwork. gusty cross shore. slashed up some waves rode down the line. did some jumps and loops and general goofing around.
Finished the session to find out I had dry hair!. Nice.
Not often i pull of a dry hair sessionbut its worthy when i do.
... those sort of days are just way cool hey! Some days you just got it go'n on... and some days not!!!
I still remember clearly the stoke of my first dry-kite session 4 years ago. Sure I was just mowing the lawn and doing some bum-in-the-water-stop-and-restart transitions but to not drop my kite was incredibly satisfying.
But yeah, these days dry hair or kite is a sign of not trying hard enough for sure.
Hmm. Don't think I've ever had a dry hair session in 8 years of kiting. Sometimes go for a few tacks with dry hair, 10 or 15 minutes maybe...
dry hair session sounds gay but i suppose it is a bonus in the land of the long white sheep where the water is probably 10 000 below zero.
I done a session a whille back on a light onshore day with a narrow beach with a fence, its amazing when you know you dont want to be droping that kite that you try your hardest not to.
kite droped= many little kite pieces
Dry hair sessions for me are usually mellow wave-riding days. Time to go strapless and hit the lip harder.
Day after day of 25 gusting 40 knot winds is getting tiresome. A mellow 18 knots would be nice for a change. This spring has been so much better than the last two rubbishy La Nina years.
Maybe next time take your shower cap off and not worry about the salt water destroying your new perm. lol
Hey plummet you been getting these nuking westerlies up in naki,it's been 20-40+ down here the last few days definitely been getting the hair wet,huge groundswell ,was out the back today and the whitewater was over 2m unreal sessions.
Yep got the hell westerlies. except i'm missing out of them due to other commitments this week.. grrr. still it looks to be going hard out for the next week.
I've never had a dry hair session because I've never landed a jump....but my lord have I gone high. We all have different priorities.
