A Raw Kite Round 1 in Pembrey South Wales

Raw Kite Round 1 in Pembrey South Wales.

This was the first event for the UK championships and took place between the 2nd to the 4^th of May. 

Excited as ever to go kite in a new spot and meeting up with new and old friends, I woke up at 4am on the Friday to make the journey to Wales. I drove my 19 year old VW Golf (probably not a good choice of car) but still, we made it there in just less than 7 hours! On arrival we pitched up our tent in the campsite then went to explore the area, where we were greeted by a great bunch of people and the biggest beach I have ever seen, it was flat and hard packed sand, brilliant for kite land boarding. 

The wind was light, but with all the guys already out there on their kites, I though why not? So I pumped up my 13m Hadlow Pro and went out for a bit of a session with the others. After getting some unhooked tricks unfortunately the wind died off, so we all decided to go back to the camp site and chill out, having the first BBQ of the year with some great company.

Saturday morning started with the wind looking good. We all met in the local cafe, where we had a riders briefing and we were told that the wind was forecast to die off after mid day. Therefore, it was suggested that they would run the amateur land board and buggy heats, but not the Pro’s if the forecast is right. 

This gave us the chance to free ride, riding with Ash Garwood, Jack Elston, Abe Alzouman, Helen Norris and Floyed to name a few, and many more riders. Although the wind was gusty, we were all still managing some epic spins, board offs, inverts and handle passes, pushing each ether to go bigger and better than the last trick. Until the wind dropped, Raw Kite managed to get though the amateur buggy and half way through the amateur land board heats. Once the competition had come to an end on Saturday, we then went to chill at the campsite once again with another BBQ kindly provided by Red Bull. 

Sunday was the last competition day and the wind was light but more on shore today. So after the riders briefing, we all headed back to the beach and the sun was out, while the amateur land board comp got finished. I went for a free ride to get myself in the zone, pulling some handle passes and unhooked kite loops! I then waited for my first heat. 

My first heat was against Jack Elston, it was a good one! I manage to pull the tricks I wanted, with the wind being light it was mostly unhooked, I also got some handle passes, F16’s, shove it’s, inverts back to blinds and so on. Jack was fighting back with some nice 360 kick flip board offs, inverts and spins. With such different riding styles it was an amazing feeling to win my first heat!

My second heat was against Ash Garwood. With us both on LEIs this was going to be an interesting heat. As the heat started, the wind started to drop.....again. But I managed to get some unhooked kite loops, surface passes, railys and back to blinds. With both of us struggling for power the heat got ended early and Ash managed some 720spins and got the handle pass to take the win. 

Getting through most of the heats, the wind dropped to nothing and the comp was left a waiting time of 30mins for the wind to come back, as the wind never returned, it left Will Rose, Ash Garwood, Abe Alzouman and my self with joint 1^st place! This makes it all the more exiting to play for at the second round at Essex kite Park. 

Fly safe.
