Cruised to the Beach

Last Friday it was still summer. I left work early, got home and then rode by beach cruiser bicycle to Spanish Banks beach with my 12m kite on my back and the board strapped to it. My wetsuit, harness, booties, helmet, life jacket were also stuffed into the bag bringing it's weight to approximately 60 lbs. I rode my 3 gear bicycle along the water into a headwind and arrived at the beach approximately 20 minutes later to see a number of kites in the air and a whole lot more on the beach. The last time I was out, my day ended poorply and I knew my lines were a mess and needed to be detangled. I hung out on the beach and de-tangled my lines and enjoyed the sunset while I watched the other kiters flail with the lack of wind. It didn't matter, the lifeguards were not out and people were kiteboarding in our neighbourhood. The next day was apparently epic but I was volunteering at a political event :(
