Darren.... Does that mean you'll be here in Borth at the weekend??

I took a gamble today and stayed at work despite the fact that the wind had picked up to around 25 knots... Hopefully it will be from a better direction tomorrow though (it was SE today) and I'll get a decent sail in after mising out on one today.

It ight be OK on saturday as well, and then Sunday, Monday look really good. Tuesday doesn't look too bad at the moment either, and then Wednesday and Thursdya next week look pretty bloody good too....

Woohooo, at last some big SW's!!! and then hopefully some dead cross-shore days with some big swell!

Yip, sure is looking good. Looks like a warm up on saturday for sunday. Which is good news as Ive barely had a under 20 knot day to test the 17.3 yet! Be nice if I get rained off a bit of tmorrow as well really. X fingers for a nice weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All my friends down in newquay have been ringing me up to tell me about how big and clean everything is.

ITS NOT FAIR! im stuck in the office! Aaaggghhhhh.

I think that compasionate leave should be extended to surfers who have suffered a wave drought, as well as to our nearest and dearest!

Lets hope they hold till sunday

So who's going to be around this Sat ?
Anybody going to be kitesurfing ?
If so ynyslas or the Aberdyfi side ?

So many question and so little time

Macdonaldal... Looking at the forecast (Northerly einds backing NW through to SW), then I should think the Sea Front side will be best.

There is pretty much no wind at all at the moment, but it should pick up later in the day, so as long as it doesn't get too windy I'll be up for some kiting. If it gets too much I'll be out windsurfing instead.

See you later.
