New to Kitesurfing in the UK

Hi

My name is John and I live in Leamington Spa. Having done a week in Hurghada, 2 weeks in El Gouna and 2 weeks in Ras Sudr (over the last 3 years) I now want to venuture in to the seas surrounding our coastline.

Can anyone recommend suitable beaches within a reasoanable distance form Leamington Spa that would be good for an intermediate?

If anyone travels from the Warwickshire or surrounding areas I would be interested to hear from you as I currently have no one to kite with...

Cheers

John

John, welcome to f-o-n. As Shem says, there's quite a few of us who live in Warwickshire. I live in Leamington, and one of the best places to go is Aberdyfi/Borth - friendly crowd.

I'm off to Gower this week, but not impressed with the forecast at the moment.

Depends what you mean by reasonable distance. Hunstanton, Aberdyfi, Porthcawl, Ainsdale all about 3 hours drive away - that's the only benefit of living in the middle - you can go East or West Coast!

Thanks

3 hours is definatly managable.

Would be good to have a chat with any one in and around Leamington/Warwick to find out more about when, where, who, how etc.
