Great Memorial Day trip to SQ

San Quintin delivered daily epic paragliding and all but one day of kitesurfing for a great trip. The gloomy forcast only held for two days and one of those was kiteable. There were basically no motor heads down there on the beach and it was just three of us on the entire beach doing six mile down winders with screaming wind and fun shoulder high waves to destroy all day Memorial Day. Crazy fun solid wind every morning for paragliding had Vic and I hucking our cheese with fun wingovers taveling the full extent of the sand dunes from Sycarro (our paddle in surf spot) to the north/west end of the dunes below Pabion where we spent a few nights camping when not spending the night in the dunes and enjoying the rich Baja star filled nights.

No straps for the entire trip had my knee feeling great and short lines on the trix kites and strapless fish with synergy 15 proved wave leathal long distance lip smacking combos. Vic lived on his 12 m synergy and John was a trix pilot. Mike and Tom Mc Gill were trading off on using my 5'10" underground directional with straps and both absolutely love that board.

Mike Flanagan, John Bayless with his daughter Aly doing great on her second lesson session along with Adam and Mike of the Bayless crew plus, Tom, Jeff and Blair Frank, Jeramy and a few San Diego kiters made up our good time crew. What a fantastic time with friends and good vegan food at our new haunt down there. Cooked cactus is mui bueno. Some pictures I shot while Vic and I chased each other around the sky show the north and south end of the birms and you can see the increase in wind speed on the water that would be our reminder to land the air toys and get on the water with the kites for another four hours... YEEEEHAAAAW!!!

Unfortunately had to leave solid wind and a forcast for another five days of the same to come back for a gig here in work/work to impress the gringo land. It was so good down there that though getting home by one in the afternoon today and seeing good wind at Leo, let it go in order to get some work done and do some rehab exercise at the gym. John Bayless gave me a ride to his place to pick up the turbo P wagon from his house and told of a great solo County session. Tomorrow morning is a long hill climb road bike ride and then a late afternoon fitting in Hollywierd for a two day shoot with some funny dialogue.. Life is fun. After about 185 out of the last 200 days with a good kitesurf session, a few days off won't hurt. The strapless stuff with 20m lines and the 6'4 surfboard had me spoiled down in SQ anyway.. Can't wait to go back down. Just missing a nice sports gal to share it with.
