Kite surfing: Ynyslas Wind Direction: NW Wind Stength: 18-28 Surf / Sea State: messy surf Air Temperature: 5Deg C Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Nearly went Xmas shopping but couldn't face it... Spur of the moment
decision found me arriving at Ynyslas at 12.30. High tide... Gave the Van
heater another testing(!) till about 1.45 and then managed to get out on my
9m Xbow. Wind was bit squally and several rain showers during the 1-2
hours I was out. Was making heavy going of getting out through the surf to
start with but got into the groove after a while. Overpowered at times but
couldn't be bothered to change kite. I think I'm better at tackling
breaking waves with my right leg leading (probably because of the seemingly
more common SW wind direction at Ynyslas). So it was good practice.
Drysuit great but could do with dry gloves this time of the year so driven
in by numb fingers eventually. Fingers warmed up now with that satisfying
tingling feeling to remind me that the Irish sea is chilly...
