What a perfect session!!! :)
Shem said he'd meeet me at the beach at around 4pm, but I got there early
and was on the water by 4pm. At first i was a little overpowered, so came
back in and depowered the kite a little and then everything was perfect. I
was just perfectly powered up and able to fly upwind. To start with I
worked my way upwind, and was about half a mile along the beach towards
Borth within a few tacks. I then stayed around there for a while just
cruising back and forth with a jump at either end of my run. A few times on
the way out I managed to time my jumps just right so that I jumped off a
wave, and just as I reached the apex of that jump, got lift from the kite
and went up even further. Sme of the jumps were pretty high and floaty, and
often I turned around in mid-air, and managed to land back on the wave I'd
jumped off and ride along it for a bit.
Shem didn't turn up for some reason. The beach was pretty quiet, so there
was no holiday makers to get in the way, and the sun was shinign...Just
perfect. I finished off the session with a few mad downwind runs just
jumping all the way!!
Oh... I put the smaller fins on my board before going out as well. It
didn't seem to make a huge deal of difference though.
