Weekend looks excellent from where I'm sitting , forcast for good winds over the next week or two. I have had four days of non stop kiting in just boardies and a rashie. Oh forgot to mention I,m on Calis beach Turkey 30+ degrees and windy

Unless used for rescue, the only good place for a jet ski's at least 10 miles off shore.

Sorry, but they really get on my nerves, they're noisy, smell of fuel and generally the people who ride them have no idea of the rules.......Maybe some of them should come on one of my powerboat courses?

Oh where do the fit in with forces of nature?

He he.... moan over

I must admit I share your views Dunk, They dont really bother me, but once youve done half anf hour of blasting around theyre pretty boring. There only fun use is towing into sturdy surf. Ive got a mate thats towed maverics a few times, which is pretty hardcore. For real flat day fun ya need a nice big mastercraft with a huge wake. (shame I havnt got a spare 30 grand)!

Looks as though I spoke too soon.... Or could it be that the wind has left forever because I have a new board on the way!!

new board Al ! whats coming ?
hope you havent gone and bought a full 2008 price board , but the more realistic been on the shelf last 2yrs but still new bargain ! which in my opinion repersents the true value of the board !!!!!!
bought a naish vector freewave this yr brand new but a 05 model £399 .
Back to the weather then - yes mid week looks ok at moment and theres some swell coming with the wind so fingers crossed for some decent wave action .

ooopps edit i,ve just read the other post about the replacement naish ! you done well there

Mind you cant move my back this morning after falling off it saturday playing silly b******rs in the lagoons

It seemed to be around 16-20 knots for most of the day, just teasing me with not quite enough!

It did pick up to 22-26 knots for about an hour at 5pm, I was just about to go out when some prospective clients phoned and wanted to come around for a chat there and then, so I had to sit there talking to them whilst watching the wind meter reading 'perfect easy cruising conditions'... of course once I did get on the water at around 6pm it had dropped off to around 18-20 knots again and there wasn't enough!

Glad your enjoying the skim board. Im well stoked with them. Rode mine strapped Sunday, and its such a cruzy ride. Goes super easy, and manages solid jumps as well. Im gonna see if I can make a quick release strap system for it,, rarther than having to carry a screw driver down the beach, depending on riding style.

Looking pretty epic out the re now as well, but Im saving it for tommorow.
