Viento Session

Anyone get some - Checked out Rooster at 10AM a bit burly for a solo session - looked to be gusting 40+ - call me Pussalia

Viento much more reasonable and had company - thanks Rob for the launch - had to jet back to Portland for a funeral (not a kiter).

The water seemed colder than last week - maybe spent a bit longer in it - can't recommend. Wind was up and down but fun on the skim and 7m - skim is nice for gliding through the holey sections. Rob looked good on 13? fuel and small board.

Also some words of wisdom - wear a helmet - was working on some simple hop turns, missed timed my landing, slid out on the cafeteria tray, and launched the f@cker about 4 ft in the air and the little shiite nails me square in the nogin - didn't feel a thing - could of been really bad sans helmut.

nice! i was thinking about heading twords viento but ended up at the ponds. Adam and i got alot of riding in, once the tide came up about 4 other people showed up. the wind was great it rained a bit but it was worth it.
