Kite surfing: Fleetwood Channel Wind Direction: ENE Wind Stength: 12 -18 knots Surf / Sea State: flat as a pancake Air Temperature: 14C Sea Temperature: murky as hell! Weather: Fair Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Another unexpected session for the end of the week. Managed to leave work a
bit early Friday afternoon so got home to collect my gear and off to
Fleetwood for half 6 to join 4 other kiters and 2 windsurfers.
Was contemplating using my 14 again but I knew I would be fully lit so
opted for the 9m which was just enough. An 11m kite woulda been perfect!
Being an Easterly wind, it was quite gusty so it was a case of trynna
maximise the gusts to work your way upwind and travel slightly downwind in
the lulls. Despite the inconsistent winds, every1 was getting some jumps in
and various other tricks.
I completely lost the knack of my timing with the jumps so feels as though
I've taken a few step backwards with all my dunkings. Just not getting out
enough to make any considerable progress!
Pleased I went as there was sod all wind for the whole weekend so well
worth the trip. Evening was finished off with a fair few beers in my local
pubs
