So, who's about this w/end? Well I'm deffo up for a well overdue session and i've booked Friday off too....Yipeee.

Be good to gather d massiff as i've not had chance to catch up with most of you since chrimbo, too many hols.....

See you all inthe usual spot for a bit of a doggin sesh..eh. later dudes

I'm there, it's a long overdue session whether that be kiting or campfire and drinking, with yarns of the travels and woe.

Going to try and get Friday off too

A gathering of the Massif is called.

if its above 8 Cels and F4, i'm there

Sounds like a plan, perfect lagoon tides for this side as well!

Will be up for a sess, have new toy's to play with!!. Might pull a sickie on friday and drive down in the morning.

Well if there's wind I'll be about sometime over the weekend, probably Friday evening for sat. Unfortunately gotta leave sat evening for a birthday drinking session (mine). 4cast is for milder weather, so lets hope it arrives with a nice So Westerley

Wonder what the weather will bring... At the mo it isn't looking great, but there's plenty of time for that to change. Tues, Weds and Thurs look OK though.

Al.

Trust good old Al to but a downer on thing's. We can't all live by the sea.
And sail in the week.

belive me living by the sea isn't the life of a pro kiter. work e.t.c gets in the way and when you can see the white caps from work its even worse.

still i'm off for 3 weeks to sunny south africa. board shorts and sunburn.

see you all when i get back

chris

i'm deffo gonna be there, managed to get on me board but not enough wind to put it to any real tests, fingers crossed warm and westerley will do nicely.

ps. reminder for the bike rack if possible neil, and i hope nick n tracey got home ok. didn't get his number to find out.

chris have a good one in sa mate

See, the forecast has changed already!! Sunday looks OK now.

Al.

ChrisDUDE - Have a STYLING time in SA bro!!!!!!!!!! Have a castle lager and hunters dry for me will ya?!

Try not to stare at too many g-strings on the beach ok?

Catch ya when u get back

Have a bustin time in SA Chris, would have been good to see you but i'm sure you won't be too concerned eh

Looking like Fri and Sun at the mo but i gues you never can tell at this stage. Dovey's sounding nice but will most likely be in the car park at Ynyslas. If it stays bang on westerley we shouldn't have any probs hitting the lagoons

The gathering is set then..Didn't know it was your birthday Spooks. It was mine last week but cos i had to work, this is a birthday treat, well if the wind holds!! If not i'll be there anyway..wouldn't miss the sound o the ocean and some exceptional company.

will be up friday night. with the lady and yeeeee the new van. bring your board if you still got it spooker i will take it for a spin. see ya there

sunday for me if the weather plays ball

err Col, thos pecs of yours seem to be developing quite quickly..what r u benchpressing these days?

will be up sunday, only day can make it. see y'all then and looking forward to seeing brian the 3rd andy!

sunday lookin styling..hey Shem, if it stays west i'll see u in the lagoon!

See ya there, might give the lagoons a try though.

who is this Fat Shady? What kites do u fly?

Shady flies Cabrinas, well he did last time I was at the beach... mmm that was a while ago now, He's probably on a bow now as many of you are

Waynes got style ; he has a 20 mtre yarga!!!!! in red and black................shame about the 20 mtre lines.

Shem, hopefully will join you in Dyfi on Sunday.

We're halfway there and the forecast has been improving all week so far.. Sat afternoon and Sunday morning look pretty good at the mo.

Lets hope it keeps improving..

Al.

Forecast looking sweet! might drive up sat morning and ride the whole weekend! All i need is 11 knts to have fun

Yes i can now enjoy the lighter winds, armed with my new Caution Hustla 135 x 47, Going to be lot's of fun with me 11m Sonic, in 10/11 kts.

Will be down Sat morning, for w/end

Woosh, i think u'll find the wind will be up to about 20knts..u'll be fully lit on the 11...i hope it fills in nicely for the 8m

GOD I NEED A GOOD WEEKEND OF SAILING!!!!! WINTER SUX

Is it just me or is anyone else super excited about ktiing in warmer weather again??!! And the wind is looking even better now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The forecast looks good, I can't wait

Leonardo, if you look out for some one on Cabrinhas or a 20m Best, doing crap jumps and just about staying up wind, then thats me

Come on over & say hi, im still trying to put faces to names my self

Which weather site you guys looking at - looks very iffy and cross off sat, and only reasonable (later) on sunday. For the day trippers then sunday looks best. What about sat - bit too much south in it for the estuary - is Aberdyfi do-able from that direction?

hi Andy i have been getting differing reports depending on the site also!................. sunday looks like the day; can only get up on a day trip anyway so see y'all then.
is Andy b going to try out a decent board then, my old mad neel?

its getting close now chaps, looks like its going to rain alot but if we can have a sail who cares about a bit of rain hoping for a few good sessions.

andy doesnt want to sell the mad eel neil, by the sou nd of it i think its his baby.

see ya on the beach. you going to be car park side kitefish ?

doh, i see its changed abit anyone fancy blackrock before the ban kicks in again

xcweather was showing some good wind for both sat and sun, but now looks pants..fri looks like the day

yep - looking like a day trip only on sunday at the mo...

but don't get despondent guys, those long. balmy weekends with a cuppla BBQs thrown in are just round the corner!

Not looking so good now, this weather really is a p***k tease

Looking at XC Weather, Rhosneigr might be ok on Sunday

What do we do, lookin a bit pants. Can't get time off Friday

Andy: I think Blackrock or Dyfi going to be best bet for Sunday, what do you think?

Jon what you thinking?

At the moment I think Blackrock is looking increasingly the best bet. Too much East in the wind on sunday for my liking. I'll decide for definite tomorrow.
Anyway when does the ban start - Easter isn't it? Be good to have a trip or 2 up there before it does.

i think you are correct with black rock; just the sunday though for me ,see you on the beach

wheres the wind gone ! its dissapeared since i looked yesterday , is everyone heading for black rock then ?

blackrock looks the place sunday for me, if i have a quite night....

talking of quiet nights two new firefighters started on the watch the other night first job, car crash three dead..i kid you not, boy racers..moral of story dont drink and drive and wear your bloody seat belt

Time to get ya surf board out...plenty Big waves to ava go at...

The MET and BBC r now showing F4-5 West at borth and Blackrock..is it really worth a much longer drive for blackrock? will check again 2morrow

Windfinder, Theyr and Windguru are all showing 15-20 knots so-easterly, Blackrock still tops for me at the moment. I'll check again tomorrow lunchtime and decide. Will be on the beach sat nite - anyone else staying over - Daz? Chris?

btw Leo - from the end of the M54 Blackrock is only about 10-15 mins further so not much in it.

me and suzie are heading down tonight. cant make me flippin mind up where to go. so many reports so many diff directions. HELP!!!!

Me and tony r coming down 2morrow morning, depending on how many beers and women we have tonight!!.

So should be down around lunchtime, and if the wind decides to turn up then will be up for a sess in the afternoon. We shell see

Will have to pray to the windgod's 2night.

Just had a sweet, 25-30 knot session,but it dropped off to about 13 knots by late avo!!

If the forcast is right and its 16-17 knots SE, dyfi copuld be sweet on sunday.Perfect lagoon wind and perfect lagoon tides for mid day. Keep them crossed!!!!!!

s /se heading for blackrock, looks like wind for saturday afternoon and all day sunday, i think this is best option going up tonight. have fun guys were ever you go

If its crap here Ill come up black rock for a stint. Could some one give me a call if theyre up there and its good. Please!!

Just spoken to Jon D Hat - he's had a fab day at Borth in brilliant sunshine! Said he'll probably be heading up to Blackrock saturday afternoon for sunday. Thats where I'm heading too

DUDES..wind looks like it is getting fully strong for blackrock! and onshore! not yet decided but thinking maybe join up with shem and ride the lagoon..perfect port tack and lagoon conditions for hp's

ok blackrock it is. will be heading down tonight. see ya at the beach an fingers crossed for some wind may the best beach with the right wind dir win

c de massif @ Black Rock Sands 2morrow lunchtime

Massif a da move

Blackrock it is hopefully be there just after lunch

Whats the tides and are they big, someone brint a spade.

Shem. still hope to make dyfi sunday. I will be over early so see you on the sand.

[Edited on 10-3-2006 by carlessd]

speaking of spades , suz has got pictures of me helping neil get out of the sand from our last trip to black rock , we woke up at about 6 30 am , to see the tide coming up fast on him , it was bloody freezin !!!!: tongue3d:

Looks like we may need our spades to dig our vans out of the snow

Forecast looks freezy, but I'm still about to head oof to the Rock.

See tyhe Massif there

How was it up North at Blackrock Sands then??

We had a bit of wind here this afternoon...only about 15 knots though and I was feeling too ill to go out so didn't bother... Looks good for Blackrock tomorrow.

Al.

Very little wind yesterday, just about enough to do a bit of landboarding before dark. Made up for it by a grand evening in Andy's new van - 8 of us in comfortably! Held an impromptu birthday party for Cath - cake and candles and everything!!
This morning is not looking brill at the mo... No snow here - but no wind either (

Lots of wind here... 20 knots or so, although it is easing, and snow on the hills, but I'm still feeling pretty ill and don't have the energy to get out. It isn't exactly nice out there either.. Grey, damp and miserable.

Al.

Was tempted to go this weekend but now glad that I made the decision to "wimp out".......... Bl**dy cold out there !

too cold

not a brilliant wk end but we had a bit of wind on the sat just enough to buggy,was tempted to come over and say hello but just put my hand up on the way past when i left ,hope the wind did get up for ya and you all had a good afternoon .(i was in the kontiki)

hi thrape,
wind didnt show we all left by 1.30. see you next time maybe
