Myself and Chris popped up to Braunton for a weekend to play on the beach. With the car packed high with kites and a landbuggy, wetsuits and bodyboards we just about managed to squeeze in some climbing gear as well.
It was super windy so the beach was pretty popular with Kitesurfers but we stayed dry against the cold wind and played with a 2m kite and bugg on the beach instead which went well for a while... well, it went well until I got involved. My first attempt ended up with me crashing and letting go of the kite which meant Chris had to sprint up the beach to try and catch the damn thing before it disappeared over the dunes. My second (and last) go ended with another crash but this time I didn't let go of the kite and the force picked me and threw me over the back of the buggy and I was dragged along the sand and ended up underneath the buggy, which hurt, a lot! I thought that I had broken my wrist for a little while but I am all fine and I don't even have a bruise to milk sympathy for! damn....
I must try harder next time to stay upright or maybe just fly kites in the water....
