There have been so many over the years with each great or unique for different reasons. Still, last Saturday was pretty fine.

Saturday was perhaps the best day in the last year for Delray Beach, FL in my estimation. The wind was sideshore averaging in the low to mid 20 mph range gusting into the high 20's. The waves were head high or better at times. I was on a 12 m Switchblade and it was just about right for the conditions. The kite seems to really like more powered conditions. At one point a fairly wide area opened up with calmer waters bounded by forming swells to the east. So you could accelerate through the calmer area and boost big off forming swells during a rising gust if things timed out right. The jumps were around 35 to 45 ft.+ You would just hit the wave ramp and be way up there in no time drifting along, sublime. It went on for hours like that. I didn't even burn in and eat it badly, much. At least not until the next morning but that's another story.

What other singular sessions have folks had out there?
