Lake ride! - Kitesurf Sessions 93 and 94

Last weekend, not wanting to "eat" sand for two days due to the very strong winds expected on the coast, we decided to try something different... With some friends, we headed down to the Naussac lake, in the Lozère region of France.


It's a beautiful spot, with a great camping site nearby. The surroundings and the possibility to explore all the corners of the lake compensates for the less than regular winds (from 10 to 20 knots on saturday and 11 to 28 on sunday, I would say).



It's definitely not a spot for beginners and I was happy to have a kite that sustains the wind gust so well (my 12m Cabrinha Switchblade) and also offers a great low end power, otherwise I wouldn't have enjoyed the ride so much!



With Ghis not at ease and Chris less motivated due to the gusty wind, I ended up doing most of my ride with Olive. We'll keep a special "souvenir" from the session on sunday, when we both went exploring up the lake and then did a beautiful downwind along the western coast...



A really cool and funny weekend with friends on a great spot that we'll test again, with NW or SE winds, the best orientations due to the lake's configuration. A special thanks to Olive for most of the photos, except one done by Mathilde and another by Sigo!
