Come on guys (and gals) where are you all. It wasn't that long ago that if there was wind there would almost always be someone to go out windsurfing with at Borth (Ben, Andy, Simon, Derek, Richard, Des, Chris, Doug, Steve, Rob etc etc.), but these days it always seem to be just me.

Today was just perfect, the sun was shining there was a lovely 20-25 knot wind and the waves were fun, but I was the only one out. There were of course 6 people out kitesurfing, and I know some of the windsurfers have let kite-surfing take over, but if it carries on like this there will be no windsurfers left!!!

I think I had a better time than the kite-surfers today though. It was just perfect.

Looks as though it will drop off tomorrow, so I might be out kitesurfing myself instead of windsurfing.

I know what you me Al it seem the same here in
the South East every one seem to be kitesurfing.

Have not tryed this yet but I sure Windsurfing has
got to be better for strong wind sailing and that when
it get really fun.

Well... once you're OK at kitesurfing, its pretty good in strong winds (if you have a small kite). I'll still be out windsurfing if course as I only have one kite.

I think the reason everyone is getting into kitesurfing is because its SO much easier than windsurfing. Its quite nice to be able to be going along at a decent speed looking fairly impressive on your first day, and doing some pretty big controlled jumps after a few sessions.... Not many people can manage 6 foot jumps on a windsurfer after a few sessions... Most people can manage that after a few years!!!
