Well just to keep Dunk happy this is a report for kitesurfing from last
sunday onwards, hence the variation in wind stats, what can i say place to
myself, apart from a few surfers and monster waves the biggest ive ever
been in, not sure how you measure waves but when approaching the wave from
the flats some of them where twice my size if not bigger..
i had at least 4hrs every day in the water, useing one kite and one
board..the strike2 13m which i had on the new fifth line set up, pushes up
wind further and the jumps you seem to hang there longer due to the leading
edge being more forward and overhead.
on the fifth line it felt wierd at first and i could work out why...later
on in the week it dawned on me that there is no bar pressure and i had to
look now and again to see were the kite was, but soon got used to it..
the best part was carve turning off toe to heelside on the face of 12ft
monsters down looping the kite and overtakeing it on the charge down the
face, a quick flick though and the strike caught you back up..
awesome week but four days on and my bodys knackered epic
