How short can a session be ; before it's Not called a session ?

Mohave was 11 - 13 when we showed up so i put my 13M Edge together
and Forced --Santi-- to go out on it cause he's a light Lil s**t, while i put
up my 19M PL. Just as i got ready to launch, the wind picked up a Lot ;
that was Maybe 10min Max .

The PL got put back in the bag and i hooked into the Edge. Body-drug to the trees
and the wind died down to 10, (just enough to plane-off with One down-loop
before the kite back-winded and the wind went somewhere else, other than Mohave.

I didn't consider "That" a session ; but nether did --Santi-- with his 10min !

So -- How Short can a session be, & has it happened to You ??

my def of a sesh is to throw at least one strong solid trick and land and to be able to come in in where I launched from. If you go for more and loose ground, that still counts cuz you COULD have landed at the origin site.

yup maybe its 5 minutes on the water, but those five can keep the stoke alive to make it through a weak wind period

We have a thread on our local forum about Kite:Drive Ratio... I don't call it a session unless I get to ride for at least half as long as I had to drive.
We get skunked so often in SWO we don't even "go kiting" anymore, when we leave the house we are "going for a drive to the lake"... to make sure its still there... And if it gets windy then we just got lucky...

So in my case this Ratio may not work.......

I hate you , because Mohave is 1:20min from where i live . :(
I won't go unless the forecasts look promising .

I've traveled 4hours to go Hang gliding , only to have a forest-fire
start and shut the day down, that happened Once this year at CSS.

I have to drive at least 1 hr for a good session... can get a so so session if I drive to another spot that's 1/2 hr away...

I think you know when you've had a session or when you haven't ... it's a feel thing maybe... a certain sense of satisfaction ... i don't know... maybe it depends a bit on comparing to previous sessions as well.

think I'm gonna go for that hot dog and coke soon.

am I ever glad I burnt out on my last session which was over a week ago...
