Kite surfing: Ynyslas Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 16-32 Surf / Sea State: rough Air Temperature: 11 Sea Temperature: Weather: drizzle Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Not quite sure if I really enjoyed today or hated it ! First proper
session on my 5.5m Best Kahoona. Took a bit of getting used to because it
is so fast. Violent gusty wind was a challenge (weather station record
showed gusty 16-34). Afterwards I stood for a minute and got readings
between 12 and 35mph on the beach. Bar actually got yanked out of my hands
a couple of times... Some nice bits of chasing along the front of breaking
waves, couple of washing machine episodes in the bigger breakers and lots
of just trying to keep it all together over the waves. Power line strop
turned out to be about 2" too long so had to hold the bar the whole time to
stop it getting out of reach, resulting arm stress forced me in before I'd
have liked (ie. others were still out!). Feel much better for the exercise
though. Hope the warm weather holds...
