Today was planned to be a busy day, but also a good wind day, so I decided to make an early start and headed off to the beach around 7.
When I arrived at Benone there was almost no wind. The anemometer was reading 7-10 mph! It was also cross-off.
I waited a while and then left. Randomly I decided to pop into Castlerock to see the beach there, and unbelievably it was blowing 20-30 mph! I stalled a bit as I haven't been out at Castlerock since I've been riding, it's a smaller beach, and there is a horrible pier at the end.
However, I did get set up, but as I finished setting up I noticed a big rain shower coming in. So I sat in the car(see pic at top) and watched the puddles form in the kite. After the rain finished (only a few minutes) I ended up having a great wee session out on the water in the sunshine. I was probably out for about an hour, the waves were choppy, big, flat, frothy, not frothy and then choppy again in that time - quite a variety.
Didn't really learn much, was trying a bit of toeside, some carving turns, and some small jumps. Just having fun mainly :)
