Kite surfing: Golf Course Car park, Ynyslas Wind Direction: NW Wind Stength: 10-14 knots Surf / Sea State: 3 foot surf Air Temperature: 7ºC Sea Temperature: 10ºC Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
A really nice session in the end. It took me a while to get confortable
with the new kite, but once up and going it was good. To start with the
waves were pretty big with some decent head high swell rolling in, but this
dropped off during the session and there was virtually nothing later in the
day.
The wind gradually increases all the time and I was well-powered up and
flying upwind with my 18m kite. Everyone else was out on 16m-17m kites as
well, with about 8 of us on the water altogether. No jumps or anything for
me, except for one early on when I swung underneath the kite and ended up
with a bit of a swim!! After that decided to play it safe until I get the
hang of the kite.
All in all a really good session, plenty of wind, plenty of sunshine and
plenty of smiling faces. Good to finally get up and going with that kite as
well.
