Might have to take a day off either Friday or Monday though....

It isn't atually looking that good for the weekend is it?? Thursday looks like the day, with a little left over for Friday morning, but
not a lot for the weekend.... Of course all that could (and probably will) change.

Thats because you need 25 knots to have fun Al, Us jolly kite surfing types are fairly happy with 12 knots and big kites!! Join us Al,

The forecasts I've been looking at haven't ever looked that good for the weekend, Thursday has alays been the best day. Thursday still
looks OK at the moment just not quite as good as it has been looking. I'm still quite hopeful though.
As far as the weekend goes, there will probably still be enough around for kiting, there aren't many days of the year when the wind
doesn't get to 12 knots for at least an hour or so!
I'm also looking towards Monday for some decent surf at the moment... Anyone got any thought on that??

Al where do you look at you're forecasts, windguru an XC were forcasting 25-29mph up until last night?
Oh and yeah now you can all blame the worcestershire chaps for booking time off work to come and join the fun.
Personally im just blaming mark (FB) though

All sorts of places, including Windguru, Theyr and Metcheck as my favourites and then lots of isobar charts, WAM charts etc etc.
Whenever I looked at Windguru this week it wasn't showing much for the weekend.. usually around Force 4. But it's only showing Force
3-4 now. 
Unless of course you are one of the lucky few whose weekend begins on Thursday!!

Al,
I know that Thursday looks like the best day for sure but I'm struggling. We have our CTO visiting from the states and I have a car
share arranged, blah, blah, blah...  otherwise I would be there like a
shot....
So I might try Friday morning on the dyfi side in the estaury with big sails if necessary...
Never mind, a week on friday I'm off to Cornwall for a week.
Andy

Be up friday night, but prob. late as i,m sein me daughter so will either see you,s in the pub or the carpark. Going Dyfi side, just
spoke to Woosh and Tony and they will be Dyfi side too.
Shame you havn't still got that Instinct Shem as they look like a very interesting prospect. wouldn't mind hearin the lowdown on the
build quality an your unbiast oppinion of the performance if youve time to chew the fat.
Bin watchin the wind all week an it's been a rollercoaster. Still looks like we'll be avin a sail but hey, if d wind dont show, I'd
sooner be there than ere... what says d massif.
