Hi, it's a friendly site, so no worries about peeps to avoid

It started with Al, who Windsurfs, Kitesurfs and Surfs around Mid-Wales, (but no doubt he can do a better job introducing himself).

Any sport using wind, wave of gravity as the propulsion seems to quality as a F-O-N.

Hi Kylie,

And welcome to Forces-of-Nature!

As Dave said, its basically a site about any sport driven by the forces-of-nature, and the 'beach lifestyle' that tends to go with those sports. It all started out as my personal site just letting people know the sorts of things we get up to in West Wales (surfing, windsurfing, kite-surfing, gorge-walking and lots of other things), but has grown into a more geographically wide-ranging site since the addition of the forums and diaries.

There no real agenda as far as the site goes, its just here to help like-minded people get together, chat about the things that interest them and hopefully encourage them to get out doing Forces-of-Nature sports a little more than they would do otherwise.

The forums are good for finding out info and asking questions, as there's always someone willing to help you out.

The Personal Diaries help you record your 'Forces-of-Nature' sports sessions and equipment usage. Not only can you look back through your diaries and see which were your best sessions, which kit you've used most, where you go etc. etc., but you can look through the diaries of other members to see what they've been up to.

The other parts of the site should be self-explanatory, except maybe the 'Force-of-Nature? link. This is just a light-hearted questionnaire to track your progress in a few Forces-of-Nature sports. (more sports will be added one day).

There are no real rules... Just keep it friendly.

Al.
