Kitelements

As winter begins to loosen its grip here in Western Australia the crew begin to look forward to the summer trade winds. For some riders Winter has its own rewards. Sci Anderson reflects on his winter season.

Winter is cold and it is not always the most comfortable session but you pretty much have the spots to yourself giving you plenty of room for pulling the trigger and brandishing some kite loops. This winter I was averaging 2-3 sessions a week in a real mixed bag of conditions from light wind sessions to riding on the cusp of a mushroom storm cloud. My favorite session would have to be 35-45knots on the butter flat water throwing down dome huge kite loops. Winter requires a new level of commitment to ride, but for the hardy rider the rewards are awesome.
