29/5/2006 - The wind's picking up

Location: Gower
Wind: up to 28 mph NW / NNW
Distance Travelled: 30 miles
Max Speed: 34 mph

Drove down again. SWAT and Missile had been there for the weekend, and were having a ball. I'd tried to fix SWATs kitewing, but the temporary joint had broken again. So we were a wing down. The wind was picking up, most of the kiters on the beach and even the buggies were struggling. The wind being NNW meant we only had small amount of beach to play with, but fun anyway. Being a wing short we decided to take it in turns. SWAT did a few jumps, with the ATB, Missile and me did some standing jumps, missile having the weight advantage seemed to jump twice as high as me. Technique probably.

Loads of fun on the kitewing with the Mountain Board doing power slides.
