though drinking and watching the timber bounce around in the surf could work....

43ft is triple overhead? It's going to take a lot more than 28mph to boost going out...

A 10' swell will produce triple overhead at exposed surfspots. So be prepared to deal with 60' faces with a 25' swell at Nelscott Reef. However, you first have to make it thru the beachbreak which will be psycho death pits with no mercy for little kiteboarders.
Be careful out there and play it safe...

Looks insane! Time to active the Team Retard beacon?
I believe MagicSeaweed maxes out at triple overhead. They figure after that it's all the same shit, and if you're going out in it you can probably figure it out for yourself.

| I'm heading to the coast this weekend, and will have my camera and kite gear. Get in touch if your are serious about wanting to ride and shoot in the big waves.

| I'd be careful when wave heights are higher than the distance between the water and your kite.

I imagine if anyone is serious about kiting out there jet ski support would be required.

I imagine if anyone is serious about kiting out there they should be locked up. Besides jet ski support I would also say that Ambulance/Helicopter support would be required.
