Belmullet

hmmm.... it wasn't as good as I remember it from last year. Not sure if I will be so keen to come back soon.

Arrived around 6pm on Sat, just in time for high tide and full lagoon, but the wind was dying off :( Got out on Gavin's 12m Vegas 08 and had it fully powered up to keep going. Even though it was light I really enjoyed that evening session. Busted few nice high jumps, frontrolls, downturn transitions and struggled with backloops on the flat water - just my typical stuff.

Got few tips from Eamon for a Sunday session but wind was too gusty and unpredictable to try looping the kite. Everyone was on 7m and sometimes it was a struggle to hold on to it, few minutes later there was nothing. Tried one footers, almost got one but the majority was wet bum checked with one foot still off the broad :) It's not as easy as it looks.

Riding in the flat water was nice, but the sea side session on Sunday was one of the worst this summer.

Monday turned out to be our relaxing day, no wind but lovely sunshine - went to explore other spots pass Belmullet town and enjoyed surfing/swimming and bbq on Tiraun beach.

Another 2 sessions in the shorty! :)

Dee, thank you for your lovely photos!
