13th June 2010 Kite buggying - boarding: Ynyslas Wind Direction: w Wind Stength: 12 Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: cloud/rain Max Speed: Distance Covered: 8 hours of non stop mountain board kiting. WG forcast 7-10 so I went down at 11 when there should just be enough sand to use with a westerly. Felt a bit silly donning a wetsuit to go landboarding but I wanted to use the wet sand as the tide fell. Was really glad though when an hour later it stated to rain... once it got really heavy the few other kites gave up and I had the entire 3 mile beach to myself despite not being able to see it ! The beach was completely covered in 1/4 inch of water and the wind increased(Weather station showed a peak of about 17) soooo much fun charging through the layer of mirror like water. Was really surreal because Aberdovey and the hills disappeared in the rain, as did Borth all I could see were the closest groynes, a mirror like sheet of water with big raindrops hitting it - and my wheel tracks and spray plume vanishing into the distance. Eventually the rain cleared, wind held and save for a couple of kiters the beach totally deserted did the run from the estuary down to the lifeboat station in Borth several times. More hours of fun and then the wind suddenly really started to build to the point of being too much on the land with the 12m LEI. Packed up and I think I saw justal go out windsurfing. Back to the car and it was 7pm !! 8 hours non stop apart from a couple of brief conversations with the other kiters at various point. Two kit failures today. Found both trucks loose (all 4 bolts!) Real glad they didnt come off :) when washing the board and worn through the outer layer of the chicken loop power rope... on my bar. |
