Are you from moseley (or thereabouts)?? & who saw the big

Was kiting at Borth today (Sunday).
There was a white van (Vivaro I think) with a nice bike slapped high on the back.
As I drove home it flashed past me on the M5 .
Then b*gger me...as I neared home i'm sure the very same van was parked up in Moseley (where I live).
I think the owner was the 1st out today on an Ozone 11.
I was 2nd, initially on a gold sonic 11.
Was it you?

Also as I worked my way up to the estuary I saw the a very large "fish" a couple of times. I suspect it was of the dolphin variety. Though when I was dragging about recovering a lost board it made me wonder. Anybody else see it? Is it normal for them to Frequent this area?

Cheers
Dave

Hi, I was out on the Aberdyfi side of the estuary, and saw the LARGE FISH as well, Im sure it would be a good size porpoise, there was also a lot of real big bass jumping around in the surf as well, ( 5-7lb), so its was probably taking a feed on them, I did wonder the old shark tale me self mind, Ive personally seen basking sharks and Orcas of the coast here.

i'm glad i did'nt see them......i snapped the tether to my board leash a long way out and had to drag in without the board on sunday......i would'nt have been best pleased to see any large fish type creature while down in the water.

thanks AJ for the board recovery

.i did'nt think i was going to see that again.
