I basically learned how to kiteboard in the gulf here in Tampa. Much comes into play when trying to stay up wind such as currents and tides. Here in Clearwater area there is a killer south current parallel to the beach which sometimes makes it hard to body drag.

However your session went don't be bummed, its not always about how much riding you get in. Kiteboarding is full of other things to practice such as body dragging. Think of your session as a great session because you got to work on those other skills.
