15th November 2006
Kite surfing: Camber Sands Wind Direction: S Wind Stength: 20kts Surf / Sea State: Small waves Air Temperature: 15!!! Sea Temperature: Warmish Weather: Sun Max Speed: Distance Covered:
I really wasn't expecting to follow yesterday's epic session, especially as
I was on my own. I'd hardly slept (as I was still buzzing at bedtime) so
was tired and ached. And the day didn't get off to a great start at the
dentist where I'd had a tooth extracted.
AND it was dead onshore at Camber. And I was still a bit wobbly with all
the anaesthetic injections.
Pumped up the 8 then thought maybe I should go for the 11 as it wasn't as
windy as yesterday, but everyone told me to stay with the 8 at my level.
It was really busy (about 20 out) especially around one area as there was a
couple of photgraphers about.
Being so onshore I really didn't think I'd get up, and after a couple of
false starts ended up hooning down the beach for a few hundred metres!
WOO-HOO! It was something I could repeat back on port tack, too. So I
spent the afternoon just wizzing up and down until I fell off or, as was
normally the case, was knocked over by a wave. The only walking upwind I
did all day was just a few steps out into the sea at the end of every other
reach. It was absolutely incredible, it has REALLY come together. I am so
pleased!
And who'd have thought we'd get such perfect conditions in the middle of
November?
