Whoop

Hooked. Got myself set up and had a little fly First. Feeling brave now so I slip my feet into the bindings, I bring the kite down to 9 o clock and I'm moving pick up a fair chunk of speed before getting bogged down in wet sand. Slowly but surely I'm zig zagging down the beach when all of a sudden I realise I'm half a mile away from the slip. Whoops. Thought I'd land the kite and have a smoke before I walked back up only to find I'd left my brake line stake back where I started. Tard. So I'm having to fly the kite back upwind and push the board back. Did manage to tack upwind a bit but I really need to tighten my trucks up as I have too much wobble and can't pick a stable heading. Pleased with my first time. No major incidents though had to jump out of the bindings a few times though. Gonna have another quick blast before packing up.
