• Downwind, Jenga and Hi 2018.

    January 1, 2018 in Sri Lanka ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C

    What a day!
    Started with a small session before lunch, some good air despite light winds. Shortly after we departed with a group of 10 with boats, heading straight north. 45 minutes of a bumpy ride brought us to a wonderful glassy water spot were we enjoyed ourselves for about an hour. Then the fun part started, riding downwind back to the camp.
    The fun part lasted only so long as my kite did not seem very enthusiastic about holding its air and I had to be rescued halfway.
    My 12m Rebel will probably need to undergo some surgery later.

    Since it was the 31st, the team here had a exquisite dinner prepared for us, pig, shrimps, crab, fish, you name it!
    Some drinking Jenga followed and it was the most impressive and tense game played.

    Thank you SriLankaKite! :)
