31st March 2004 Kite surfing: Ynyslas Estuary Wind Direction: E Wind Stength: 16-10 knots Surf / Sea State: Flat Air Temperature: 16ºC Sea Temperature: 10ºC Weather: Hazy Sunshine Max Speed: Distance Covered: Got to the beach at 4.30pm to find a guy from Cardiff just packing up a 12 m kite having been out in 20 knot winds for a couple fo hours. The wind had dropped a little so I set up my 11m (15 flat) Wipika and got out there on the water. At first I had to have it depowered quite a bit and over the next hour or so, gradually powered it up as the wind dropped. I was well powered up the whole time anbd having a really good session in the flat estuary waters. I had a few goes at riding toeside and had some good jumps, with the usual line of spectators with cameras on the beach... Kitesurfing is still quite a novelty to many people! The wind then dropped just as Shem turned up to the beach. I came in and landed my kite while Shem set up his new 16m Caution Spitfire. Chris turned up too. We flew Shems kite on the beach for a bit, then it seemed to be picking up again, so I landed Shems kite and quickly got back on the water while Shem and Chris got their wetsuits on. I had another 10 minutes nicely powered up, but just as Shem got to the waters edge, the wind dropped again so I came in and packed up. Shem had a few runs but was loosing ground downwind in the light winds. Chris managed to get up and going on his surfboard, for a bit too. A really good session while it lasted, and once again nice and warm. |
