Another nice weekend kiting. Started off with a puncture in my 9m kite,
tide was too high anyhow so fixed the LE bladder in about an hour even went
back in first time and all the inflation tubes lined up :) A much easier
job with a helper (thanks Neil) than when I have done it at home
singlehandedly. Surfed across to Aberdovey twice but the wind was easing
so switched to the 12m for an afternoon session. Fun in the waves and
going fast in the lagoons along with trying to get better at toe side
edging.
Amazing weather near dusk with fantastic complete double rainbow against
black sky and weird orange glow out to sea. Sadly forgot my camera.
Sunday was a bit frustrating with another kite problem - this time a split
stitching in the LE pocket, so had to use my backup 12m (slingshot turbo2)
but the big swell and variable NW wind wasn't all that enjoyable really.
Probably been spoiled with 7 and 9m conditions lately, making the big kites
feel slow and hard work !
