6th June 2010 Kite buggying - boarding: Ynyslas Wind Direction: NW Wind Stength: 8-16 Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered: Good session 10am-3pm on the landboard with 12m Slingshot. Most of the morning was tame with the occasional gust, direction more or less forced short runs diagonally across the beach and also not a particularly low tide and lots of large clumps of seaweed to boot. Some fun to be had navigating them though - and making jibes around them ! Wind picked up after lunch with enough lift to hop over the seaweed clumps and making the washboard sand areas more comfortable by taking weight off the board. Forced to give up eventually due to being overpowered on the landboard. One guy arrived to get out on the water but by the time he was rigged the wind sadly died away again and I wished I'd left the kite rigged.... Anyhow a good day and got lots of practice at non stop sliding turns. The weather station appeared to show 8 knots increasing to 16 or just over, so 16-18 is about the limit for me with the Slingshot 12 on land due to lack of traction and too much lift. (And probably really great on the water when I eventually get around to it) |
