The wind seems to be here for good now.  It's been blowing over 20, usually 25-35 or 40, for the past week and shows no signs of letting up soon.  It's too windy for my 9m kite so I'm shopping for something like a 7. The kites in use today ranged from 5-8, mostly 6's and 7's.  Guys 1.5 x my size were out on 7's. I could have saved some luggage weight by not even bringing the 13.  I've only used it twice here and one of those times, I wished I had the 9.

Tomorrow Cabrinha is hosting a demo day on the beach.  I'll probably get sucked into buying one of their expensive kites.  People here seem to think that they are worth it.  They are by far the most popular kite on the beach (or in the air).
