Kite surfing: ynyslas golf car park Wind Direction: NW Wind Stength: 16 Surf / Sea State: small surf and some chop Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: cloudy at times Max Speed: Distance Covered:
A brilliant session with the plus of being a few of us out. The wind was
nice and steady, could have been a bit more but it was good enough. Spent
the first few runs trying to get used to the kite as it has a completely
different feel to the FreeAirs. After a few handy tips from one of the
guys, managed to get the feel for it and was no longer wipeing out in each
turn.
With that sorted I decided that I couldn't be bothered with fighting the
chop to stay upwind and decided to go for the fun bit. Wave carving isn't
quite as simple as in surf, which I learnt after trying to carve the top of
a small wave and being slingshoted over the next two because i forgot to
bring the kite to closer to 12 o'clock.
Also managed to practice a few jumps. All this meant that I had a few walks
up the beach but well worth it.
It was not a perfect session but perfection comes at a price ... usually
the airfare to the Canary islands. But seeing we were in wales it gets a
five.
