I've been skimming the last two days at the bridge North of the sand bar! Holy nuke fest!! 5m kite, 6mm wetsuit, and absolutely LOVING the new custom Exile skim! However, did have some of the most violent wipeouts with whiplash and had one of my earrings ripped out! After 3 hours, I took my new strapped freestyle directional out for a try.........HATED it!! Am so addicted to the skim! Wind Looks a little bit tamer today?

Nice - cept that earring part - sounds painful - yeah that spot can be epic buttery skim heaven - we hit the coast today - nice head high swell at 15 seconds but the sets came only every 15 minutes :x I want more - back to the Hood Sat - will keep an eye out for skimmers (also that directional - might try just taking the straps off that thing and wax it up and you are good to go)

Dig the five meter skimmin!!! light wind toy my ass!! :lol: theres smoke on that water boy!!
and youve got a nice "punting backside" there with pink skim to match. it looks like your starting to train him well , it does take some time breaking the luved ones in to the "windy" video shooting. Happy birthday honey!, i got you a new tripod for my video camera! :wink:
