Although Ive been teaching all weekend, Ive managed to get a couple of short sessions in every day. Good to spend a bit of time watching the Aberdyfi massive ride from the beach any way. Even better to see how much evrery one has progressed!! With Double rotations, back loop kite loops, etc, and mark nearly nailing double back loop, kite loops. It'll be great to see what every one is doing by October.


Top stuff. ( Hope we get some mid week wind now, as I need to get on catch up)!!

Agreed, awesome weekend. I was watching Craig in the lagoon late yesterday and the boy is flying now, respect.

Had a nice day on the 12 myself and even got the Misses in the water for an hour.

Great weekend folks, have a good mid week sesh and see you next Saturday.

Ahoy CHRIS-DUDE! Stoked to hear you guys had a good weekend's worth of wind..I had a good one over in Denmark with loads of beer and Viking songs!

Also glad to see I've started a handle pass craze amongst the daring few!

Hopefully the wind rocks this weekend..we can punish each other at who can land the first one sweetly!


col123 - 9-5-2005 at 12:55

i'm already landing them..you lot are so last year

likewise Colonel, have also given them a miss from now on, so "new trainer boys"
latest trick is; inside van to shorebreak, return to coffee with brandy reverse lard pie /satisfaction.

and don't forget the bacon and sausage sandwich, important to keep up your strength!

leo arial pass may have to wait. tring a flat 3 or front side pass thingy.

not sure who what all these old boys are chatting about mines a double all meat patty in a sesame seed bun, don't forget the special sauce.

see you all on the water


willf - 9-5-2005 at 17:55

surely the aerial handle pass is the easiest one. flat 3 is hard. need to be super powered getting massive pop messing up a flat 3 has gotta hurt!

aerial is way forward i reckon. far as all the articles i've read and instructionals i've downloaded are concerned.

glad y'all had a good weekend. see you all this w/e?


willf - 9-5-2005 at 17:56

still waiting for my pass leash! obviously everyone wants one!!! all sheep!!! baaaaaaaa!


chris - 9-5-2005 at 18:17

messed up a couple flat 3's today just pulled backwards into the water, kite still in the air. pulled in the leash and tried again. not as bad as a messed up kite loop.

must have walked back up the beach for miles this weekend feet are aching.

looks like easterly all week.


col123 - 9-5-2005 at 19:00

willf leash should be in by end of week if i'm up you can borrow one


shem - 9-5-2005 at 21:42

Im hoping for a weekend off this week. If so, Ill be out for some serious catch up. Looks like the wind will swing round for some wave side action again. X fingas!!!!AAAIIIIIIII.


mNeil - 10-5-2005 at 10:06

got fully wet last weekend, spent lots of time bobbing out back when my safety went off; thanks to the Colonel for the rescue. good to see the massif keep an eye out for each other; dont happen on every beach!
LONG LIVE THE MASSIF!
fingers crossed for the weekend
