A great Beauduc! - Kitesurf sessions 117 to 119

A weekend in Beauduc is almost always a promise of a good time... This was one of those times, mixing good conditions with a big bunch of friends, some of which I hadn't seen for more than 2 years!


 

To say that the wind was variable through the weekend is an understatement, since I managed to use all my kites (a 12m, a 9m and a 5.5m) and also try again a 6m Slingshot RPM and a 9m North Vegas (great kites!). And when the wind dialed down, I could have "stolen" a Flysurfer 19m for a little ride, but ended up being too lazy...



 
Due to the new regulations on our favorite Summer spot, Beauduc doesn't feel so much as an "Into the Wild" kind of place as it used too, but it still has it's magic, allowing us to completely disconnect from the daily routine...
 
 
 
As more and more of my kiting friends, I'm getting into strapless surf and, even if for the time being I feel like I'm back at the beginnings, it really opens up a new world! I guess that with some training and a good dose of patience, I'll soon be looking at waves in a different perspective.
