I got to the beach to find Chris changing down from his big kite to a
smaller one. The wind was eading around 22 knots so i rigged my 5m and wave
board. Walking down to the waters edge and it didn't feel enough though.
Sure enough, although able to get on the plane I ended up with a walk of
shame to get back to where I started from, so gave up with that and rigged
my 5.7m instead.
back on the water and the wind was all ovr the place. Sometimes WSW
sometimes WNW, sometimes plenty of it, somtimes not enough. On occasion I
as able to head out through the waves on both tacks as the wind shifted
around just at the right time, on others I had to head back to the beach on
both tacks.
After about half an hour of this, the wind settled down to dead Westerly
and also settled down to a nice 18-20 knots. Now nicely powered up I worked
my way out the back and then headed off to Borth. I made a few runs right
into Borth and then up to the Dovey bar. Theres something cool about flying
along flat out for three miles or so, only to turn around and fly back flat
out in the other direction. There were some nice swells out the back to pay
on too. It stayed good and I spent the next couple of hours fully powered
up blasting back and forth to Borth, until I had no energy left!
