Kite surfing: Ynyslas -estuary Wind Direction: E-ESE Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: gusty Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Just got back from another early(ish) morning session in the estuary.
Arrived 8am before high tide with just enough beach to launch the 9m kite.
Good session for a couple of hours. Few scary fast broad reaches on the
flat water. Wind died away mid morning and became gusty and as the tide
started dropping the car park started filling up with cars and vans kites
and windsurfers (and an ambulance. Get well soon Steve - I hope the van
came off worse. It looked bad... but didn't see what happened I was on the
water at the time. ). Now enjoying a well deserved brunch having rinsed
kit.
footnote: 1.30pm. Its now blowing again... Heard a big thud this morning
and caught a glimpse of a submerged log, thought it would be a fin gone but
looked OK on the beach. Just found 2inch wide dent in board. Oh the perils
of the estuary !
