Kite surfing: Aberdyfi Wind Direction: Force 6 Wind Stength: WSW Surf / Sea State: waves and chop Air Temperature: warm Sea Temperature: warm Weather: blue sky Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Got to Aberdyfi, mid afternoon and was greeted by force 6 winds, blue sky
and a 10-15 kiters out on the water. Pretty much every manufacturer
represented - GK, F-One, Ozone, Flexifoil, Slingshot, Ocean Rodeo, and
others, with bows/SLEs a popular choice.
Picked the 9m and it was a perfect choice for the conditions. A bit busy
near the shore - what with loads of folks from Exeter University, so kept
upwind out of their way and went towards Graveyards.
Very messy sea at Graveyards for some reason (somebody please let me know
why) - messy chop coming from all over the place with the occasional big
wave thrown in for good measure.
Big moment when one end of the spreader bar popped out of the harness, but
fortunately well away from the shore, so no damage to me or the kite.
Had a bit of a rest, and then relaunched for another hour and a half
session. As the water became less busy, I came back South to the flat
water and the legs were grateful for a rest. What causes that brown muddy
sea at LW? - the remains of the forest ?
Had to give the day a 5 star rating.
Knackered yesterday and today, seems like the wind is taking a rest as
well.
