bonjour persons, i try to do a bit of kayaking here and there and the occassional bit of boogie boarding! i ve also just purchase my first kite, a flexifoil 2.5 bullet. my aim is to have a toy for every condition and location so i can play know matter what!

unfortunatly im stuck in epsom(just south of london) and it's not renound for its extream sports so i just get board and have to get drunk!

Hi Lee, and Welcome to Forces-of-Nature... You sound as though you should fit in OK here. Many of us also try to have a toy for every condition, and you're not the only one stuck inland either.

Although, it has to be said that although I do have a toy for every condition, I don't get out every day despite living on the beach...For some reason when its -2¬?C, grey and miserable and theres only just enough wind / surf to get going I just can't find the motivation to put on my cold, wet and smelly wetsuit!!

I've just been reading about a guy who has surfed every single day for the last 28 years (thats over 10,000 days in a row).... Now, thats dedication for you... he does live in California though.

Hey, I'm just around the corner at Merstham, nr Coulsdon. If I'd have known you'd bought a 2.5 kite I wouldn't have bothered buying mine... I'm off on me hols 2-10 Jan, but get in touch after then & we could make prats of ourselves in company. Andrew
