12th March 2005 Kite surfing: Ynyslas Wind Direction: NW Wind Stength: 20 - 25 Surf / Sea State: 2 ft swell Air Temperature: 6 Sea Temperature: Weather: Sun/Cloud Max Speed: 18 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 16 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Should have been at least 3 stars however my own performance "launching" the kite spoiled the day.......... Arrived in a shower of sleet which eventually made way to a mix of sun and cloud . Decided to play it safe and set up the G10 managing to get away with a first dodgy launch. After some good runs ended up to far down wind and helping Paul B look for his board, so a long walk back up the beach was required. Stopped for lunch then things started to go astray Q: What happens during a launch when you forget to "fold" the kite tip which is then laden with sand ? A: It performs some very strange low aerial manoeuvres that... endanger anyone/anything in the near vicinity and result in the safety being activated by the flyer (me) Problem being I was trying to launch with 1/2 cwt of "Borths finest" on the inner canopy instead of it spilling out from the outer side. (Doh! Rookie mistake & I only did it twice !) Anyway - apologies to any concerned watchers. Not the best of days but I'll be back........... |
