Hvittensand: cold but totaly worth it

By kimandre in Kiteboarding, My local spots

I have just gotten back from my second session this week on my local spot.

Yesterday the wind was blowing almost directly south, and between 10-15 knots. I played around on my surfboard for a while in the light winds, when the wind picked up I got to try out my new board. The Cyclone 133×41cm mounted with Union bindings and no fins. Tried acouple of trix, nothing with a “high crash-factor”. The water holds about 5-6 degrees celcius, and it’s pretty cold when you take one on the head.

Today I got another lightwind session, the wind came from south-west (and pretty gusty), and between 8-12 knots. So I spent all day trying to ride toeside on the surfboard from both left and right. My surfboard is gotta be one of my best buys ever, if the kite fly’s, I can have fun with the surfboard strapless.
