Kiteflying at Ynyslas
[dropcap]S[/dropcap]ummer’s back and Morgan has been out flying his kite on the beach here at Ynyslas… It was a little too windy for him so I had to rescue him as he got dragged down the beach. He seemed to enjoy it though.
Kite flying lessons
Morgan gets better at flying his kite with every attempt. Of course, he’s never happy just flying it and insists on doing ‘loop-the-loops’ or flying it one-handed which then means I end up running up and down the beach to launch it for him. He has got the hang of it now though and could...
Learning to Fly a Kite in Wales
Morgan is doing well with his kite-flying now. It took him a couple of attempts and to start with he didn’t really persevere . His first couple of goes only lasted a couple of minutes each, but I didn’t want to force him to do it so just left it at that each time. He...

Watersports in Wales
I’m not about to say that West Wales can compete on the world stage with the likes of Maui, Fiji or Cape Verde, but on its day, when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining then it can be pretty good. Today was one of those days. Clear blue skies, blue water and...
Kitesurfing Photos Borth
[dropcap]U[/dropcap]nable to get out on the water at the weekend having just come out of the cardiac monitoring unit at Bronglais Hospital (more on this some other time), I did manage to walk across to the beach and take some photos of Andy and Rich enjoying the unexpected afternoon North-westerly. The winds weren’t that strong...
Kitesurfing at 50.9 knots!
Tilmann Heinig has just done a 500m kitesurf run with an average speed of 50.9 knots. It doesn’t count as the official world record as it was recorded using a GPS and there is lots of discussion not only over the accuracy of GPS recordings but also the fact that it records the actual distance...
