Kite surfing: Ynyslas Estuary Wind Direction: E Wind Stength: 14-18 knots Surf / Sea State: Flat Air Temperature: 24ºC Sea Temperature: 17ºC Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Yet another hot, sunny and windy afternoon, with plenty of water in the
estuary. I went out with the 13m Strike which was perfect, there were a few
lulls to start with, but the wind soon sorted itself out and I had a couple
of hours of well-powered up kiting with the whole estuary to myself and
quite an audience of people on the beach. Lots of nice controlled jumps,
some grabs and tabletops and then quite a few back-loop attempts. I can get
around fine, with my board but for some reason I end up doing a kite-loop
as well and then just loose it (and my board as I get dragged off after the
rotation... Obviously pulling too hard on one hand, but I haven't managed
to work out which one yet!... Also, I think I'll wait for a day when there
someone else about who can at least keep an eye on my board. Despite the
flat water, I still almost lost my board a few times as the current seemed
to be taking it all over the place.
Just as I was packing up, mark came over well powered on his 11m Strike,
but I didn't have the energy to get back out there.
