back from the folks, showed my dad the clip and he was wetting himself - yeah, cheers dad!!!
i had a small shard of glass in my arm, which i just open surgeried myself lol.
wide awake again... !!!
early to bed, early to rise, and have to bufty up the car again.
i spoke to a guy who offers a 2 day wetboarding for £200.00 in southend.
all inclusive and we can split the days.
he said its the best grounding for kite training, nothing to hit, just full pelt with the wind.
plus lots of theory....
i'm up for it, if anyone else fancies it
i'll email him for more details!!!
water + wind = mayhem !!!

yeah... i thought about that...
there is another guy who comes out to you and charges for the day.
i'll email him and see if he can do something at thorndon park with our kites
maybe have an hour each with him.
6 hours, think its about £30 per hour
