arrived at the beach today to find clean 16-18knot onshore. something that happens 6 or so times a year.

anyway i couldn't go super fast due to the fist sized rocks littering the beach so i'd cruze along at 30-40kph and bust into some floaty jumps.

needless to say to my amazement i found my hand had a need to detach from the bar and hold onto the truck......

hmmmm.... i think this might be the beginning of the end. i'm abit too old to be twisting and tweeking and generally goofing around. next i'll find myself busting some rotations. bugger.

Rule number one; you're as old as you wont to be
Rule number two; harden up

"too old to be twisting and tweeking and generally goofing around"

try, in your spare time some pilates,yoga and karate
or at least some MORE kiteboarding time to keep fit

hehehe point taken!

Plummet you will start spinning before you know it... on that manta you will have all the time in the world hanging in the air to complete 1 or 2 spins easy...

And with someone like butch riding not to far away i would bet that stopping you from trying to spin would be impossible..

Just do it.. tuck and roll.... will be the best feeling ever.... and we want photos haha...

i just need clean winds around 16-18knots. now clean winds full stop are fairly few and far between in winter.
