Are any of the Bristol / SW based members going to the Wet & Windy WSM demo in March then???
I'm supposed to do a family visit to Bristol sometime soon, so may just have to make it for that weekend!!!

Not sure if I'll be there myslef yet... Depends on whether the parents 'want' us to visit that weekend or not...
I'll let you know later this week, but it would be good to get down there and sail at WSM....

I'm planning on it, although I'll have to find a pub to watch the rugby in.
Even though I live 30miles from WSM, I not made it to there for over a year so I'moverdue a mud bath!

Be rude not to pop down really, wont bank on any wind but would be nice to use my new board at WSMud.Even though a lot of people arnt
keen on weston ive had some mega sessions there, 4.2 weather with a 8mtr tide works really well! Spence...

Don't worry guys, I'd love to be there but can't make it.... Which should guarantee you all have a perfect day with perfect winds.

Nice one sooty.... I've just booked my places. They were out of places for the windsurf clinic on the Saturday, but as its been so
popular it looks as though they'll run one on sunday afternoon. I managed to get the last place on the kitesurf clinic for Sunday
morning too.
Lets hope there's wind, as this will be my first windsurf or kitesurf lesson of any sort... No doubt I'll find out that I've been doing
it all wrong!!

LOL.... How did I know I'd get a response like that!
Just think of all those men in rubber suits you'll be able to watch!

Its early days yet, but the wind doesn't look good for next weekend at the moment... Although it does for Thurs and Fri, so that may
all change.
Has anyone ever been to one of these 'clinics' before? Are they any good. When I booked my place they asked me what level I was and
what I wanted to work on...which threw me a little!!
I just hope there's some wind now so that we can make the most of it.

Yep, always goes like that. I'll only turn up if there is a decent blow (ie 8.0 weather or better) as I am feeling incredibly tight and
dont want to spend the cash on fuel for nothing.......

I was thinking the same... Noticed the forecasts had changed since yesterday, but didn't want to point it out yet as its still only
Tuesday!!
On top of which WindGuru is forecasting a lot more wind for Borth than it is for WSM. (15-26 knots Southerly on Sat and 25 knots SSW on
Sunday for Borth at the mo).. Lets just hope I manage to bring some of it with me to WSM.

Shockingly, its actually looking like I might get a sail this weekend! I have decided that I am going to head to the place with the
best forcasted winds. If that means a south coast dash, then it'll have to do. How can I live without the mud I hear you ask?
Only issue could be launching at WSM. All those kites with beginners under them with a cross/on - the beach is only a couple of miles
long, there will be no room

The forecast keeps changing, but its looking OK for WSM at the moment.
SW Force 4 on Saturday, S-SW Force 5 on Sunday and pretty warm on both days which is a bonus, but with quite a bit of rain on Sunday.
Its still looking windier than that for Borth though.
Anyone know what time High Tide is at WSM over the weekend??

Its starting to look pretty damn good actually. I like the idea of a decent amount of south in the wind - gives me some hope of
actually leaving the beach!

Does that mean I'll see you at WSM then Wes?? Look out for me and say hello.... I'll be in my dark blue transit van.
I like the idea of not having to rig anything myself!!
