Distance Covered:

Decided to take some holiday, and so as blue sky and medium winds were forecasted, came over to Aberdyfi.

So much for the forecast!, ended up force 6, occ 7 NNW. Launched Shem on his 9m Trix, and then sorted my kite out. Was not happy with the lines, they kept getting tangled by the wind. Not a good start.

Eventually got the kite up (thanks Shem for launching), and had a brilliant session. Slightly underpowered - had to sine the kite most of the time, but during the gusts could park the kite and off like a rocket. Ended up wishing for the gusts to become constant. Had to concentrate on keeping board speed through the messy chop. Did some toeside and a few little jumps and this time got the kite timing correct, so landed with some power to keep me planing.

Well pleased - every time I go out, I'm improving in one or two aspects.

Came off the water just as the sun was setting.
