Kite buggying - boarding: Ainsdale Nr Southport Wind Direction: sw Wind Stength: 23mph Surf / Sea State: flat Air Temperature: unsure Sea Temperature: unsure Weather: cloudy yet windy Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Decided to go kiting after vowing not to the night before, windspeeds were
predicted to be around 20 -25 mph which were pretty accurate, I went down
with my bouf carlos and fellow friend Ali
Equipment used: Buggy Flexi Airdeck And blade III, 4.9
(bullet is being repaired by flexi: some nasty shell rips)
When we arrived there were no static flyers only plenty of kitesurfers,
after all the weather was perfect for them.
Didnt have a go in the buggy today as the wind was far to strong for me, if
only i had a bullet 1.5 it would have been ok,so instead i got the kite
out, geared myself into my quadrafoil harness, waited and waited (for the
wind to die down a little) Then thought the time was right and got my kite
up into the air, hooked my kite to the harness (very silly), and got
dragged literally over 1/2 a mile down the beach kind of half flying half
running, god knows why i didnt let go, i guess its coz i didnt want to get
my kite wet, anyway after that i managd to find a dry spot and unhooked the
kite from my harness and let go of the kite (thankfully i had used my
kitekillers) all i could see behind me was two bodies running after me in
the distance!
after that i had a very long rest!
I wanted to fly my blade for so long that i didnt care how windy it was,
well ive learnt my lesson!
