Ireland 2009! Part II

Tuesday, 3 November, WILD WILD SESSION # 13
A cold, stormy sky and churning seas welcomed us into Lahinch this morning. It was just me and Wojciek, no other takers...Alan and Robbie had to bail. The tide was out - way out - further than either of us had seen it, and that was the “green light” to get going without further ado. We parked to launch near the graveyard and were pelted by driving rain and hail as we donned thick neoprene by the roadside and pumped our kites up on the long grass. An unbelievable session was in store for us today in 7m waves and WNW 30-40 kt cross-on wind, with my 7.5 Kahoona kite very lit. I headed out first, with the 7.5m K and stayed upwind waiting for W, playing in some of the "small" head high sets, tuning myself up, as they rolled toward the river mouth. Wojciek launched a 9m kite, and I had a feeling he would end up being overpowered if the forecast was to become true.
