Wingsurfing at Newgale

whilst on a "romantic" trip round south wales as part of my (our) wedding anniversary, I managed to get away with a day of wingsurfing at Newgale beach. I've been there once before, probably about 5 years ago when I went on a weekend Kitesurfing course - taught by Kirsty Jones no less. Anyway, conditions for my week away were variable, and although I had my Kitewing and Dirtsurfer Flexi in the van (we hired a VW Van for the week) I thought I may not get a chance to use it. However, wind and tides were favourable on the Thursday and although not a stunning day, the wind was blowing 10-12 mph most of the time and the beach was emtpy. It was nice to get back on teh board with some wind. No records broken, no new tricks, just a few hours of turning practice until the tide came in and the wind dropped. Pix to follow....
