Parkering ved Raudalen alpint skianlegg. Her kan du gjøre heisbasert (fri)kjøring om vinden ikke har kommet ennå. Virker som det ofte kommer noe på toppen nærmere stengetid, og da er det fint å ha kitesekk og kitebrett/ski klart i bilen. Start: Ta

Har returnert til pele-brygga ved Fuglevikskjæret (kart). Det ser virkelig ut til å være et prosjekt som er verd å prøve for pump-foiling, når dønninger ruller 20-30m utenfor. Sjekket ca midt mellom lav- og høyvann. Brygga er da ganske nøyaktig 50cm over vannflata. Korrigering:

While I'm yet only using my new Sabfoil Leviathan 831550 hydrofoil kit for SUP, I tried mounting the foil on my two years old Sabfoil T35 kitefoil board. Trying dock/rock-start any cloudy day now, cooler for full suit/armor and less spectators. Sabfoil
