What a lovely session. I first wandered across to the beach just before midday and found a windsurfer from Shrewsbury sat in his car aiting for wind. At that time it was blowing at about 3 knots from the NE. I told him it would pick up soon but he didn't seem to believe me, so drove home. Within seconds of him leving the wind swung right around to Southerly and suddenly jumped to aout 8 knots. Within half an hour it was gettting towards 15 knots, the sun was shining and there were white-caps all over the water. Soon after that there was about 10 kites up off the point at Ynyslas with their pilots kite-surfing around in the flat-water lagoon there.

I chose to go out from the sea-front were it was a little quieter and there were a few waves to play on. At first I was way-overpowered with my 11m Wipika Free Air, but after depowering it loads it was just perfect. (Cheers Paul for letting me have a snap-link shacke as well as my chcken loop atachement had broken).

A few others came out from the Golf Course Car Park as well, and there were quite a few people buggying and mountain-boarding on the beach too. The weather was gorgeous, it was warm, the sun was shining and it felt like summer again.

I stayed on the water until about 5pm. Once again just getting the hang of blasting back and forth and doing some jumps. Good stuff.
