Hi to the massif
crezzee - 19-10-2006 at 13:46

As a new member i thouhgt i should say hello and introduce myself.

Been a pole boarder for about 15 years, sailed Borth a few times but mainly sailed the lleyn peninsular.

Recently turned to the dark side and started kitesurfin - and lovin it.
Kited at Borth about a month ago, yes that was me on the blue and black waroo.

Thinking about doing Borth again or the other side Dyfi (not tried there yet) this weekend.
Question is, which is the most friendly side as i might need someone to do up my wetsuit - the wife is staying at home this weekend.

May see you there

I coming from Brum, so you will probably pass me on the way. Might pop down Sat as I have new toy to play with if it's windy enough. Will be on the Dovey side, but as said previously this is a very friendly place and someone will help you out.

Might be putting the TD into retirement this weekend

Regards,

Simon

Si_B - 20-10-2006 at 11:29

Same big splash, just a different kite !!


crezzee - 23-10-2006 at 10:48

Had a great day on saturday (21/10/06) kiting in the lagoon at dyfi, i can even ride toeside now - the massif are a great bunch, no surfer type attitudes here.
Did anyone have a wind meter out when that huricane passed through it was insane, off the scale dewd ?


justal - 23-10-2006 at 11:14

Yep... It got to 34.4 knots.

Shem says.... What kite were you flying?

Loxley - 23-10-2006 at 12:56

34 knots, pah, just a breeze, you should have been out at Black Rock I am sure it was getting on for 40 there ! LOL


crezzee - 23-10-2006 at 16:21

I was flying a black and blue 9m waroo.


shem - 23-10-2006 at 17:44

AH, know who you are now, will have to say elo next time.


Si_B - 23-10-2006 at 19:07

Ahhh, that's who you are. I launched your kite for you. That thing is really light compared to my Turbo Deisel.

Looks like you were going well.

Liked to have seen the chap with the wind meter. I could not even turn around to see what was going on. Did see someones instinct going flying over the dunes though !!!

Regards,

Simon


Fart Boy - 23-10-2006 at 20:12
