I tried out my new Mystic Warrior harness today for the first time. At 1 pm, the wind was ramping up like yesterday, so I was worried about getting overwhelmed again, but it calmed down a bit and I got some nice riding in. There were a lot of gusts and holes again, but it was still fun. It took me the whole sesson to get used to the waist harness (vs. seat harness) and I was having a little trouble staying upwind. I also decided to skip the board leash and ended up getting blown downwind for a bit boardless. Thankfully, one of the locals grabbed the board and brought it back in! I really need to practice body dragging; maybe I'll bring a tennis ball out with me next time.
