Ivor was at it again. This was a bit of a mad session.
We stopped of at the golf course on the way over just to sort out some kit
in the car before getting into the sand storm that was the estuary. Saw
this crumpled boom kinda bent at 90 degress. Next thing Impi appears over
from the front with wave kit, and then came the story of an expensive
crash, aouch!
Anyway, onto the estuary and today it was mad, easily upto 40 knots and
more in the big gusts. Waited for others to arrive and watched Jon go
kiting which, looked pretty hairy to be honest. Then Impi arrived and
couldn't help another session, meanwhile a mad German tried to impale
himself on a car before pulling the safety on a 9.0m. He came over to ask
what the wind speed was, so we told him 40 knots and that his kite was a
bit on the large side, Jon left him with a flea in his ear about launching
near the cars, dooh!
So on the water I rigged an old 4.0m and wave board. Some 'interesting'
runs but all good fun, quite gusty which was a bit annoying. Packed up in
one hell of a sand storm and ended up just chucking everything in the car
and going to the golf course to wash myself and all the kit down and to
repack the car. Mad, but strangley fun.
