Kite surfing: Aberavon Wind Direction: SE to S Wind Stength: 14-25 Knots Surf / Sea State: 2-3 ft choppy Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: overcast Max Speed: Distance Covered:
arrived around mid day, wind was abot 14knots SE, waited for a while to see
if it would pick up as forecast but decided to put up my big 16.5m warrior.
Had a nice 45 minutes or so on my new 142 wavetray before coming in to
switch kites.
As I got my demo 12m Caution kite set up the wind kicked in to a nice
18knots plus (dont you just love it when that happens) the wind swung round
to S and continued to pick up throughout the afternoon.
The new Caution performed very well, its incredibly quick to turn but not
at all twitchy, I was using the outer line attachments, next time I'll try
the inner ones which should make the kite fly more off the front lines.
Wind was a little gusty and the combination of new board, new kite and
aching achillies tendon meant for quite a reserved session, but even so
some of the jumps were surprisingly high.
