Distance Covered:

Day 2 of the weekend and a repeat of Sat with a little less wind. Still pretty gusty though so kite almost fully depowered.
Got there a bit earlier than the day before so got to play in the large waves at high tide, got a few jumps, a few tumbles and general messing about for half an hour or so before the tide started receding.
Quite a lot of people out again, I counted 16 at one point and there were about 3 windsurfers enjoying themselves.
whe the tide did turn, I had a slow deflation with the leading edge collapsing which allowed the kite to almost invert on the gusts. I immediately came off the water and packed in as it was almost impossible to control. I've now gotta figure out hows it's happened, I'm hoping it's one of the tubes linking the leading edge to the strut thats come loose.
Other than that, was a nice session. Just wish I could get out more rather than there being loadsa wind in the week and sod all at the weekend.
