Friday 1st February - Kitesurfing - Benone

After quite a long break I was back in the water today. There was no real reason for the break, other than just a lack of good conditions, and lots of other things to do.

It was only a short session today, about an hour in the water at lunchtime, but with the temperature, I think that was quite long enough!

It was very windy, really at the upper end of the scale for my 9M kite, so it wasn't the most pleasant. The wind was almost straight on, but there was a slight cross in it, which meant I was able to ramp over the waves as opposed to riding along them.

I didn't get up to much, just trying to hold onto the kite, few small jumps over the waves, a bit of toeside and a few big carving turns. There were lovely big flats between the waves, but it was so windy that sometimes they were quite choppy.

Anyway, it was good to get out, I'm looking forward to getting out again in slightly less wind, and more cross shore.
