Kite surfing: ynyslas Wind Direction: ne then sw Wind Stength: up and downy Surf / Sea State: varied Air Temperature: cold NE ,warmSW Sea Temperature: warm Weather: varied Max Speed: Distance Covered:
arriving with NIck at about 9am wind was from the NE and cold with it! a
good day to try out the 12 mtr frenzy in the estuary.mad eel 145 my
favourite of the three was the weapon of choice for me.note that i dont use
the ozone bar prefering my modified stage 2 (added the cobra cleat,much
better!)bar.frenzy went well although could have done with more consistant
wind but no suprise there as the the clouds were moving SW and the wind
blowing NE down the estuary!after the sun was covered by the approaching
clouds off the sea the wind became very gusty and so decided that coution
being the best part of valour (frenzys do not float) came in and blew up
one of my favourite little beasts, the 2002 10mtr airblast;black with a
white trailing edge,not even Campbell could sex this thing up any more!
NIck was out on his 11mtr wipika hydroand yes another mad eel145, another
great kite and together we blasted up and down the water eventually being
joined by Graham on his 16mtr flat Cabrinha Co2m and oh look! a mad eel 155
no less.
as the cloud cover increased so did the turbulence and large holes started
to appear in the air,time to get off the water and get the kites down( this
was after i got hoiked up out of the water and gracefully planted on the
sand ;so what do you do? well you make use of the wind and power the kite
up drag on your buttock back across to the water and away up on your board
in one flowing motion.
Time for breackfast;the wind slowley decreasing and noting on the hills
that smoke was now turning around and coming from the south we made the
decision to pack up and head over the dunes to the beach ready for the SWs
to kick in,you of little faith!( you know who you are).by the time we had
got to the beach and inflated the kites, yep here comes the SWs,slowley at
first but getting better and better.by this time Col had arrived with two
students;COl flying his usuall array of storm 2s ad YET ANOTHER MAD EEL
145.
the wind was a little up and down all the rest of the day and i swapped
betwwen the 10 mtr airblast and pinching COls 20 flat storm 2 (thanks)
a great day had by all ,even topped up on the tan coming off the water at
about 5pm ,oh how i ache today!!!!
