Xmas is Coming!!
justal - 19-12-2005 at 09:37

Xmas is coming, so what is everyone up to? Who will be getting new toys and who will be out on the water?

I'm not expecting too many new 'forces-of-nature' toys, but I will be staying at home for Xmas so if there's wind I'm sure I will be out on the water at some point on Xmas day... If not I'll at least manage a walk on the beach to build up an appetite for yet more turkey.

Merry Xmas everyone.!

Well I finish designing bits of engine's and generally making the world a better place to live on the 22nd.

Then I'll be eating and drinking until I'm sick n tired of doing so. Takes about a day on average.

I'd like to get in the water between Xmas and new year and have more time on the Sonic.

New year 16 of us are renting out a bunkhouse in Mac. So some MTB action will be on the cards, followed by a seriuos afternoon of drinking and merriment into '06.

NYDay could be spent clearing my head on the water?

May see some of you guys about!! If not, have a great Xmas, and here's to a long n windy '06 season.

Thursday-Friday are looking pretty good at the mo... I can't get out on Friday, but Thursday should be OK I think... May see you on the beach Nel if you have got rid of the unfriendly bacteria.... Mine seem to have left home for the time being.

Lets hope so... I couldn't quite remember that session (well, my memory isn't what it used to be!) so I had to look it up. Here it is A little more wind would be nice, but as long as there's enough to get out I'll be happy as the forecast for Xmas day doesn't look very promising at all.

Finish work on Thursday and driving up to Wales on Friday.

Def get out at Borth sometime over the festive season.

Not sure which kit to bring - prob land kites and buggy/board.

Will be around until following Tuesday then off to Kent for New Year.

Finish work on Thursday and off to Chamonix on 27th for a 11 days boarding. Looks less and less likely that I'll get out my new (to me) K-Bay small waveboard to christen it before I go.

I'm off to finland tomorrow morning for a week of skidoo-ing, dog sledging, snowboarding and cross- country skiing, its -10C and very snowy, so should be good. Back on 28th, so I'll keep an eye on the forums for activities around new year, need to introduce my new Slingshot Misfit to the delights of Borth.


Fat Shady - 20-12-2005 at 18:37

I break up on Thursday & will be around if its windy


mNeil - 20-12-2005 at 22:10

should be there thurday onwards


Kitefish - 20-12-2005 at 23:17

Getting desperate, may be able to get friday off if there is some wind hopefully see you on the beach Neil


justal - 21-12-2005 at 07:52

Not looking good wind wise at the moment.... We'll be lucky if it gets to 10 knots over the Xmas period by the looks of it...

Possibility of some snow towards New Year though.???
