Weekend 8th/9th Feb

Went down to a sunny WSM on Saturday to find a big squall and a 6.0 kite being desperately landed - after the squall it dropped to about 30 mph so I rigged a 7.0 kite and got into my wetsuit by which time another big squall brought people hurrying off the water including good kiters like Nigel walke...

Saturday 25th

Matt's post looks quite funny 20mph+ plus being the key word. I arrived to find no wind but the 11 degrees and sunny in Matt's post. the wind started to fill in so I got suited up and rigged a 12.0 kite and big board. By the time I hit the water I was well powered and after 30 mins decided to change...

First sail of the year

Last Sunday saw me making the trek down to Portland on quite a good forecast and not too cold at 9 to 10 degrees predicted for the afternoon. On arrival at the boatyard Weston regulars Bob and Lesley were in attendance with the temperature showing 7 to 8 degrees and it feeling bitterly cold in the f...

Pre Christmas Windy Weekend

Went to WSM first thing saturday morning but only 8mph on the beach - as I was driving away the radio was talking about a lane closure on the old severn bridge due to the wind so decided to head over to 'the sunny side' and went to Aberavon - very light wind but went out on a surfboard and my 12.0 k...

Re: Pre-Christmas Sail at Weekend?

I had one serious trashing in the shore break on my first day when very underpowered trying to get out through about 6 to 9 foot of full on closing out shorebreak and got ...

Re: Well Windy Portland - 26 Oct

Weston proved disappointing on Saturday with less wind than forecast and lots of lulls with it dropping completly quite early on - I satyed to the bitter end with another kiter and had a long walk back to the water when the wind returned but it only lasted about 20 minutes so a frustrating session. ...

Re: Weekend 26/27 October?

A Weston double looks on the cards, HW is 1123 on Saturday at 9.4m and Sunday shows 1115 and 8.8m after the clocks have gone back....

So will look to be on the water about 10 both days as that still gives 4 hours
