Glad you like the hoodies dudes, one snag they are in a very limited edition at this present time ( 2 one for me and one for Jon)

Although if there was enough interest I'm sure I could arrange for more to be made and exported from Egypt. We know the shop now has the design on theyr'e computer and I wouldn'yt of thought it would cost much to get them sent over. Wqait till you see the quality and I will judge the interest and see what we can do. Otherwise we will just have to wait for another tour to Egypt (which may be quite soon for someone)

Nice... Does it say forces-of-nature.co.uk anywhere on it.... I've been meaning to sort out FON hoodies / T-shirts / stickers for a while as a few people have asked for them in the past.

No, these have been embroidered (lot of stitching). We did ask for this on the front under a Borth Massif logo but the chap said it would be very small and not easy to read, also the price went up dramatically as you pay for each letter. But it could easily be done, by maybe replacinig the Egypt 2006 with FON. But once again this would not have been in the same font and would not have looked as good. It would be good if we could find somebody in the Uk that can screen print this design onto T shirts, hoodies, stickers etc. We would have to be alittle careful as the centre logo is the Naish pirates logo (wouldn't like to get in any trouble). I do have another Massif design in the pipeline based on the yellow kite surf zone banners, just need a good silouette photo with someone jumping with kiter and kite in the picture. So if anyone can come up with a photo get intouch (would be a nice touch if it was one of the massif).. This design could also be easily replaced with a windsurfer or surfer to appeal to all.

Jon and I did these hoodies as a bit of a laugh and were unsure on the outcome and felt slightly embarrassed, but we are both really stoked with the end result and pretty chuffed that people like the design.

See you on the beach soon and you can admire the purchases more closely.

Nice Hoody


jon d hat - 23-1-2006 at 21:38

Dudes, I'm bloody freezin...!

Had a crackin time out there, Kited every day except thursday, but went diving instead, definately not to be missed.

In fact I may now be going back out there the last two weeks in March to do my PADI open water and to av a few more sessions at Colona. Steveo is comin out for a weak so if theres any more interest, give us a one to one.

Hotel was comfy, clean and d food didn't give me dilhi belly, Colona was a decent centre, good facilities and a cool vibe, and you'd struggle to drink a tenners worth of Egyptian beer if you tried..!!

I'd be happy to get a few hoodies made but dont fancy tryin to fit em all in my kite bag

It'll be good to see you all again soon, but I can't see myself kiting in England till I'm a bit more used to da temperature drop.

catch yall soon dudes

mNeil - 24-1-2006 at 15:53

dunk dont mind going to tenerife over the easter hols for 2 weeks


jon d hat - 24-1-2006 at 21:54

Hey dunkmeister, spoke to woosh an i think he's got a prob wid one of the weeks that you's are goin. He seemed keen to come out to Egypt when I told him I was goin back to do my PADI and to kite. I'd be happy to av any of youre company, but I'm goin for 2 weeks and at least 3 days of dat will be diving, that way I can check d stats an book my diveing around those marginal days.

Give him a buz if you want to clear things up but he seemed pretty sure About Egypt.

Check u soon dude
