Nukin at New Road

I'm rigging a 3.6. I'll be here all day so come out and join me!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My smallest kit today, lit 3.6 on my 77ltr. It was rockin out there today.

When the spot-a-pots are blowing over at New Road, rig your smallest sail.


I was hitting floaty jumps like this all day! Thanks for taking the time to snap a few pics Stan.








part time kiter, part time windsufer Stan Iwamoto showed up and joined me.

When its cranking this hard, the baby pool is pretty epic


Not many do kiters still do both, and probably even fewer still windsurf as well as Stan.



Great to sail with you again today Stan. Looking forward to a wavesailing session southside by the inlet. Leave a comment or email me, and I'll send over a few of your pics.


Andy, I know you told me looping is easier when its nukin, cuz all you need to do is think about it and pull, and you go around. And I'd given it alot a thought, and I can see how that indeed is the case. I went into this session with intent, however, I just couldn't pull the trigger today. I didn't get dialed, totally comfortable until well into the session, and by then, was too tired. Just trying to get up off the blackjack table with all my chips so to speak, before the dealer cleaned me out.......
Smart guys hunkering down in the lee of these parking curbs.

Beautiful light at the end of the day.


Here is a mast mount video I shot during the first session....
