I went out initially on the Smoke as it looked windy on the outside
didn't make it too far before i decided to come in and rig up the session saver-
the big Boss 12m.
Matching nearly tack for tack I kited out with the racing sailboats towards the famed golden gate bridge. I had windsurfed here in the nineties but that was over at Coyote point and then down along the coast at Waddell Creek. This was Golden Gate Bridge up close and personal!
outside the bridge was illuminated with the late afternoon sun. Once outside the bridge I played in the undulating swell making giant toeside turns on my wainman surfboard-woohooo! Does it get any better?
well let me tell ya honest to whatever God you believe in,
as i was thinking literally, this very thought (does it get any better)
yes it does!
a dolphin surfaced alongside me -WOW!
my heart nearly leapt from my chest in joy.
A few tacks alter another dolphin popped up breifly to check me out,
or maybe it was the same one saying : "hey nice turns fella, leave some for me"
After half hour of swinging giant turns on the swell I decided id better heard in in case the wind dropped. As I headed in there was a giant, i mean GIANT as in really really big container freighter drawing LARGE swell of his bow wake. me and a fellow kiter grabed as many rides as we could in the 5'+ swell on the way back in next to a tourist boat that cheered us on.
great sesh!
what can i say except for "I love my life!" grins
best y'all
