We really must go somewhere else. The problem is it's such a good spot.
Anyway: wind forecast was different on each website, but windguru said 25mph. It ended up at about 15 which was good. The beach was pretty bad again, with a surface that wouldn't be out of place on the moon. Just as well that the wind was mostly westerly, as we had good runs up and down the beach. Managed to fly/ride (flyde?) 40 miles over the course of the day, and it felt like it this morning. top speed 33.7mph.
Lots of use of the harness on the Kitewing; lots of dirtsurf powerslides; Lots of video taken (will post when i've edited it); lots of crashes from Missile; an abortive attempt to try jumping and flying from the dunes by SWAT and Missile; raced a few kitesurfers (they were in the water, I was on the shoreline - they won, but the beach was too bumpy for me to go for it. - my excuse anyway); a bit of ATB powersliding with the kitewing.
Missile is doing really well, I must sabotage his kit so he doesn't get better than me.
Nothing particularly new learned, but did get some video of one handed kitewing flying. (and SWAT's "wave to mum"), and did get loads of practice of turning and sliding

Wingsurfing is a new extreme sport that harnesses the power of the wind using a hand-held wing, the Kitewing, while the rider stands on a 2 wheel inline board, the Dirtsurfer.
