There wasn't enough wind really, but I wanted to get out on the water with my new 'Stonker 157 Climax' board. Chris was already out with a bigger kite and just about getting going, so I thought I'd give it a go. I did manage to get to my feet a few times, but there just wasn't enough wind to get going properly. I couldn't really evaluate the board in such conditions, but at least it was good practise at launching the kite etc.

A guy called Miguel who is staying in Aber for a month or so was also out with a smaller Wipika and a couple of guys who are often here at weekends when out too, but even with their big kites and big directional boards they couldn't get going properly.

Not a complete waste of time as I needed the practise as far as setting up the kite etc goes, I did get to my feet and get going, and it was better than doing nothing.
