Would prefer it if the forcast was showing 12knots rather than 10. Really want to try out the new kite, but 10 knots is getting close
to not enough wind for a big bugger like myself.
Typical really, had a wasted drive a couple of weeks back when the conditions were just a tad to extreme.......you can't win 
Cheers,
Simon

the wind is always seems to be stronger on the coast and if it's a sunny day the wind also seems to pick up throughout the day. I guess
I'm lucky enough to be living in Aber.

Yep, the seabreezes have been pretty good all this week so far with the wind filling in to around 20 knots at about 3pm, peaking around
4.30pm and then gradually easing as evening approaches... COuldn't have been better
this
afternoon, wall to wall sunshine, 20-25 knots, nice flat water and even some girls to gybe around!
Not sure if it will last til the weekend though as the second part of the week looks a little cloudier so the sea-breeze won't be
anywhere as pronounced... Unless of course the clouds clear.

The forecast doesn't look 'that' bad.... You just never know what might happen.

Looking good at the moment... 16-22 knots.
Not sure if I'll get out though as it is Anna's birthday so I'd better be on 'best husband behaviour' all day.

Had a great day, and met some new folk which can't be bad. How you were coping with the gusts on your C kite Neil, I don't know. My bar
was going from full power to full depower on a couple of occasions.
Feel absolutely knackered, but great fun in the waves. Might put the old impact vest back on. Took some hard slams today.
Even got the directional out for 30 minutes, but came in as I was just too tired. Must learn to gybe it at some point.
Top day.
Simon
