Well, at least I managed to get out on the beach for a bit today, but although the wind seemed to be picking up all day it was only 12-15 knots when I got to the beach. It would have been perfect for kitesurfing. But, as the beach was deserted and I'm not too good at it I thought it safer to just go for a little kite-mountainboard with my Blade instead.

I had a nice little session whizzing up and down on the hard flat sand...that was until I was flying along and then all of a sudden the wheels hit and sunk into a really soft feeling piece of sand, which suddenly felt very hard again a split second later when my face hit it!!

No lasting damage though.
