Wind for the weekend

Not looking great for the weekend at the moment... Although Monday and Tuesday look good.

What's everyone up to? I shall try to get out on my bike for a ride one day, anyone else fancy a ride?

Wind looks a little more promising now for the weekend. Lots of rain too though.

Could be some good surf on Monday as well.

Perfect over here too.... some nice waves, head high at times and a decent 25-40 knots cross-offshore wind meant it was perfect down-the-line wave sailing conditions.

Not often we get that but when we do I love it and just can't get enough of riding the waves fully powered with a 5m sail... Nice.

Damn, boys, I just got back from Hatteras, self-proclaimed kitesurf capital of the East Coast of the US, and we struggled to get more than 15... sounds like this was a helluva weekend here.

I'm new to the game, bought a 15 and an 11 - sounds like the winds here warrant something a little smaller as well... I live in London - sounds like I need to head north to get to the fun stuff.

One naive question - I assume around here it's wetsuit all year?

Yeah you'll probably want sometthing smaller to go with your current set up. Full wetsuit is what most go with, the shorties come out for a brief moment should a nice day arise this time of year. If your planning to go out in the winter you'll probably want a winter suit or i've recently converted to the wimpy side and invested in a drysuit for the winter.





why tip toe through life only to arrive safely at death?
