Kite surfing: Starr Gate Wind Direction: WSW Wind Stength: 5 - 10knots Surf / Sea State: pretty flat Air Temperature: 15C Sea Temperature: nice Weather: Sunshine Max Speed: Distance Covered:
An unexpected midweek afterwork session. Was looking on XC weather all day
and the sea breeze had nicely kicked in to 17 knots all day long. I arrived
home about 6:30PM and decided there was jus enough time for a session so
off to Starr Gate to take advantage of the long light evenings.
Got there to find 5 or so other kiters out on big kites; most of them came
in as I hit the water as the wind had completly died. It was my first
session on the Sonic so there was no turnin back I was so eager to test it
out. Winds were superlight around 5 knots so there was barely enough wind
to do a little down winder in the shallows.
The whole set up of the kite was wrong so I did a few tweaks here and there
with the wind at the same time also picking up a few knots. Wind got upto 8
-10 knots for a time so there was jus enough wind to enable me to do some
light wind cruising.
The session was nothing special cos of the light winds. Out for an hour and
a half before the wind died completely. Packed in and as soon as I was
driving off, the wind picked upto 10 - 15knots again!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
Definately a 2 star sesh
