Kite surfing: Ynyslas Wind Direction: W-WSW Wind Stength: 18-27 Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Too many hours on the water to describe in detail ! 1st session in the
morning as the tide was coming in. Dropped the kite in the surf once today
and of course it had to be at the waters edge a fair way along the dunes
and it rolled in the surf. Got it back into the air but lines were crossed
so forced to land once back at the car park. Anyhow it was a good time for
a couple of hours break for lunch over high tide - even the sun came out.
Headed down for an afternoon session in the Estuary lagoon but sadly we
set off a bit early and blashito lost his board on the way down in an area
of really confused sea (big peaks moving in every direction possible) near
the estuary mouth caused by the outgoing tide against the swell...if you
find his board you know what to do... Having got into the shelter of the
lagoon had many really fast runs. Wow! Tacking back out of the estuary to
the car park was slightly easier than I thought it would be on the way down
(figured it might be a walk back job) because of the much lower tide and
less messy sea. Intended to call it a day but after a snack break the wind
seemed to be picking up again so couldn't resist another hour or two in the
low tide surf. Car clock said 8.30pm leaving the car park so ended a
brilliant day with a Chinese takeaway... Afterthought: comparing boards
today with a couple of people and everyone seems to have shorter wider
boards than mine (150x38) I like mine but am beginning to wonder what the
difference is with the other boards?
ps. Staying home today (Sunday) despite the wind - legs are telling me a
days rest is needed, and need to clear fallen tree from driveway !
