Another new word is added to the language. A kitemare is what happens when you are kite surfing, or kiteboarding, and a nightmare scenario happens: you are smashed into rocks or the side of a boat, or lifted high into the air and smashed down onto the sand. One strong gust of wind and you’re flying, probably in a direction you’d rather not be flying in.
But for all the dangers it looks like great fun, and is a very fast-growing sport. The kiteboarders seem to be centred at Ynys Las a couple of miles north of here, but they frequently go whizzing past. I wonder if someone drives down the coast to collect them again?
I apologise for the low quality of the photograph. I had to use a digital zoom and that is death to quality photography.
Cheers, Tom.
