After traveling for the last two and half months in Europe, it was really nice to be heading back home. With the first days of spring really rolling in it was nice to hit some waves!

However the biggest surprise was to find that the winter rain has left these dams on many farm fields in the area. So the exploring began last week.

The first one we tried on a gusty westerly wind. so being inland it was expected to be gusty. I was out on a 7 slightly underpowered except in the gusts. My friend Hercu brought his Go pro and joined us for the afternoon. He then decided to edit this little clip:

And here are the pics of the action thanks to Melissa Smith on the shore.

It was really strange to be kiting in amongst the farm fields. I’ll be checking some more inland options in the next while…

So long
