Session 6 - Kite Power, Soma Bay


Wind - Maxed at 41 knots
Kite - all day on my gorgeous baby 7m
Water - fooking cold first thing! Ha choppy and shallow for the morning, headed out this afternoon to get away from all the newbies.
Time on water - 4.5 hours I reckon all in!

This is my second visit to the Kite Power dudes at Soma and a much more pleasurable experience for me to be honest! For once no major dramas, I just kited! Back and fourth, turning and loving being fully powered up and being able to edge like a mother and generally just play about. Upwind like mad to then go downwind and play about on my board and have some fun get used to the kite and the board and avoiding other people and just happy out on the water!!

I have started to bring dry clothes with me to the beach t chance into as the stronger winds have bought a chilly taint to the air so when you are wet it feels cold!! Yes I think I must be getting used to being here! It will be a shock to the system for me to be honest going home, rain and cold! Although oh yes it rained here today!! I have a picture of a rainbow which I never expected to see in this country!

I am sure that I will write more about today but right now I am late for dinner and just happy to be able to enjoy that 7m. I so never expected to be praying for 30knots of wind!! LOL
