28th September 2003 Kite surfing: Poole, Dorset Wind Direction: South Wind Stength: 5-10 knots Surf / Sea State: Flat - harbour Air Temperature: warm Sea Temperature: It's got colder - wi Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: Hurray - finally got my kite setup okay 30m lines and a proper de-power setup on my bar Went down to Poole for a party on the Sat night and turned up to the water about 2 pm Not a lot of wind at all :> - The blimps (LEIs) weren't doing much - some people getting going for a short distance, but a lot of the kites were just falling out of the sky due to the lack of wind Started with my 18m Guerilla and could only manage short blasts downwind before the lack of wind caused me to come off the plan and sink back into the shallow waters of Poole harbour. It's shallow of a long way out - perfect for any beginner kitesurfers out there. Decided to stack my 18 and 13 together - and amazingly they lanched first time ! One slow turn and the stack powered off and I blasted across the harbour. Great feeling after a rubbish sess last weekend - plus I was the only person out there who was able to get going in the light winds. I love the Guerilla kites - a lot lighter than the LEIs so they stay up even when the wind really drops. Can't wait for the next session - hoping for more wind though - you can really jump with a stacks. Roll on the winter winds :> Hope the rest of you had more wind in Wales |
