Had to go into work on Saturday but bunked off for a couple of hours to get a high tide session in, launch area was a bit tight as there were lots of walkers on the beach, got out ok, wind felt a little light on the beach but the low end of this kite is incredible, suprrisingly enough I was well powered and as the wind picked up I was slightly overpowered in the gusts.

Had a it of a downwinder to Skety Lane (from St Helens) to check out another kite, but just a couple of noobs get thrown about by an orange Naish on the beach.

A cautious session because of the shallow water and gusty winds combined with the proximity of the beach walkers, but well worth it.
