Kite buggying - boarding: Sandwich Bay Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 20-25mph Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 10 Sea Temperature: Weather: broken cloud Max Speed: 31.3mph (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: ???
Wind was forecast WSW or SW depending on where you looked. I decided it was
more likely to be WSW so instead of cross-shore at Camber I would head for
Sandwich Bay where it should be offshore.
It was blowing at Sandwich, setup the Iguana on disks and the 2.2m, had a
few runs, realised that the wind was actually SW (cross-off) but only after
doing a fast run a mile one way and having to beat back.
Got some good speeds in, the disks are awesome for that beach.
Stopped after a while and rigged up the tandem, gave Fiona a tow for a bit
and then packed in as a dark cloud was heading our way.
Should really have done Camber as it turns out the beach there was pretty
empty.
