Lots of kiters out at wittering today and very few dog walkers and families. Wind was bang on shore and picked up gradually during the 2.5 hours I was there.
Beach was very wet and as tide was neaps the low tide was not low enough to uncover the outer sandbank, it wasnt even low enough to get round past the groyne towards east head.
Had some good runs when I found some dry sand but I just skidded a lot on the wet beach (I really need some barrows or disks for conditions like that). Got some good speed up at times but the lack of traction on the wet beach scared me as I couldnt powerslide to scrub off speed consistently.
Ended up covered in sand and water with a wet kite to dry out as well.
Met a few others including some racing buggiers on disks and 3.4m Yakusas.
Snapped another strop, must sort out a roller spreader bar.
