Distance Covered:

Back to waves on port hand down-the-line sailing. Was gusting over 30 knots at times, so it was a bit hairy, and there was a nasty cross-chop in between the waves, so it was a bit hairy.

There were two other kiters out for a bit, but after a while there was just a windsurfer and me out. I felt a bit 'exposed' so I couldn't really try any tricks in case I got in trouble.

I quite enjoyed catching a few waves - some up to chest height - but the faces were very steep and lumpy.
