Is anyone going out this sunday in gower? Wind doesnt look too promising but I'm just looking to get to know some other windsurfers in
the area.
Must be a few of us out there?

Hi Kelvin,
Thanks for the reply. I hadnt previously considered Porthcawl but looking at it as I live near the M4 in Swansea its probably quicker
for me to go there as down to Oxwich or Horton.
The beach guide says that Trecco can be a bit dangerous for beginners - I can sail confidently on all points of sail but havent got
into the harness yet - thats my next stage. Would I have anything to worry about?
How is the access down there also - is it a case of rigging up on the sandy beach?
I wont be out this weekend but looking to go out in near future.
Mike

treco can be a bit iffy for beginers !
can you water start ? its a must for treco as its never flat so uphaul is a no/no .
Newton can be really good for beginers though as long as plenty south in wind .
c u soon

Maybe you should take a look at the latest photo of Trecco that Kelvin has added to the photo galleries.... Not a place for beginners
on days like that!!

Hi,
I can beach start just about - in the right conditions but never tried a deep waterstart.
Perhaps I need to get good at some of those techniques before trying Trecco.
But In anycase I might go down there to see you guys in action!
cheers
