Session 5. I took the Fliteboard out after catching some nice waves on my SUP at Walkerville South.
The beach is good to launch from. There is a good sandy bottom.
There was a decent swell rolling in which added excitement.
I kept well away for the surfers and got the feel for riding the swell, it adds a new dynamic to the experience.
I was able to stay up on the foil for 20+ seconds and crank out some turns. It was fun!
Session 542. A good south easterly was coming into Walkerville South. A kitesurfing was out, and another (Owen) was launching too. I launched off the beach with my 8m kite but the wind wasn't strong enough close to the shore. I ended up across the beach and decided to put up my 10m kite.
I got out on the 10m kite OK, but was a bit overpowered further out where the wind was much stronger.
Scored a few small waves along the reef. Kiting further out was difficult due to the stronger wind two way swell - ocean swell wrapping around from the south and south east wind swell.
The beach is good for launching when the wind gets in as long as its not too crowded.
