What an awesome weekend, The KR Club jetted off on a booked out Ride Day to Ocean Grove for a day of wind, sun and goodness.The conditions look perfect for the west side of the bay, We did a meet and greet, carpooled and headed off to make the most of the conditions! Ocean grove is a great spot for flat water, shallow water, you can head out deeper and even get some waves if desired. If you haven’t been there yet, out it on your bucket list for a S wind as there is something for all sort of kiter.
After a location safety briefing we established everyone’s goals and split into groups depending on level and what people wanted to work on. KRew Cesar, Thomas, Thor and Brandie gave tips for Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced tricks.A few showers passed through, we had some snags and vegie burgers and the wind hit 17+knts and some arvo sun. As with all Ride days if the wind is there, you are in for a HUGE day on the water from start to dusk. It was great to be there with you as there was many a smile, crash, and progression by all as the day progressed and to top it off the kiters shared camaraderie and became new pals.
