Up at 6 this morning to catch the early low tide... crikey, I'm getting as
bad as Justal! What amazed me was that I got to the beach at 0730, just
after first light, and I was the last of 6 to arrive!
Was really pleased it was blowing well enough for the 8m as that's
correctly set up and is a REALLY sweet kite, I love it!
As everyone was already out I fannied around trying to work out how to
self-launch the thing, but luckily someone came in just to help me launch.
Nice people, kitesurfers!
Had a great hour and a half whizzing up and down. I'm already thinking my
board's a little on the big side for waves...
Trying desperately to cut upwind... a long way to go and a lot to learn,
but I'm hardly having to walk anywhere any more, and that's terrific! But
boy are my legs aching!
All ended too soon as the flippin van had to go in for a service... but at
least I got out. :-)
