Kite surfing: Watergate Bay Wind Direction: NNW Wind Stength: 15 knots Surf / Sea State: 2 ft clean Air Temperature: 18C Sea Temperature: nice Weather: Sunshine!!! Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Went into Newquay in the morning to look at the new apartment and collect some fins for my surf board. The sea was begninning to White
cap so I was desperate to get back and onto the water.
Got onto the beach just after 1PM and walked to the far North end of the beach as I knew there wasn't quite enough wind for my 9m and
twin tip so a bit of a downwinder at first.
The wind then died further so I opted for the surfboard again and went out to sea with that. Had a few runs but still underpowered with
the 9m and then it suddenly deflated once again. By this point, I was getting pretty pissed off with the Trix so I pumped it up to see
where the deflation was and once again on the joint linking the end struts pipe to the main bladder had failed. Grrrr.
Abandoned the kite and then went out on the C02 for an hour or so before the wind completely died.
The wind was backing more onshore to the West so each tack was getting near the surfers so the Lifeguards were doing there usual
annoying ranting by telling us to stay away from all the surfee's. There were quite a few kitesurfers out again, think I counted 13 and
Andreya Wharry was out on her Flexifoil Ion and what looked like a standard 6' surf board. She looked pretty shit hot to be fair in the
light conditions.
Saw Gemma on the beach teaching her pupils as well.
