Et Voila, Sri Lanka Week 3…
As you may well guess, some of the faces changed, but the wind, frenetic fun, great food and all-round Sri Lankan joy continued. Kat bombed on from her first week, nailing both the unhooked popped front and, yes the Raley to Blind:) Clare cracked her toeside, laid down some serious under turns and took to the skies.. Paul the pirate somehow nailed the Tack, even with only one working pin whilst improving his strapless carves and practicing his snaps, all whilst hiding the inevitable wince. Jody nailed the pop then Raley, Front Loop, grabbed her air gybes and sent the kite faster! Julia laughed a lot whilst getting into the skies for the first time with a great edge. Joe tweaked his Raleys and moved into certified S-Bends, with the odd bit of Old School thrown in for good measure, the toe side front loop download transitions also deserve a mention. Jason was getting his feet free in any way possible, board offs and one foot air gybes, was of course styling the darkslide and hammered out the unhooked raley. Jas went from upwind to toeside to jumping, darn good effort. Robster got higher, nailed some air gybes, and enjoyed some veritable back loops. When Jon wasn’t playing with Coconuts he was popping his front loops unhooked, dark sliding, one footing and also toe siding his front loops. We were looked after astonishingly well by Taranga and the team at the house, Kitekuda Camp and the amazing Mr Chomley were brilliant as ever, and we will miss Foxy way too much for yet another year:( So many reasons to go back again – bring on 2017…..
