6th November 2006 Kite surfing: Tarifa - Punta Paloma Wind Direction: Levante (E) Wind Stength: 10-15kts Surf / Sea State: Flate Air Temperature: 15 Sea Temperature: warm Weather: Cloudy Max Speed: Distance Covered: Last day of my short break :-( The Levante was still gusty as ever, but at least being less strong meant I could use the 11m. A Swiss girl I befriended helped me out to launch and even carried my board to the water... later on a German guy I'd helped launch used to find me downwind, carry my board, and drag me upwind with my harness! And I saw another windsurfer rescue a kitesurfer in difficulty. Was this great, friendly place the same hostile and unfriendly place I'd visited 3 years earlier? What a postive transformation! As for the session, it started off really well... did a couple of shorts runs, but at one point I sailed comfortably on a port tack for about 10-15m, stopped, board came off, did my first ever deep water waterstart, and sailed starboard tack back to the beach. WAHEY! Small steps, but I was TOTALLY made up! I'm really pleased. After lunch the wind dropped a little and it was hard to keep the kite in the sky, so time to end the holiday on a positive note. |
