Nice day for it i bet mate

Thought you maybe interested in this live wind site mate , situated not to far from the EKP , Our skipper for sea fishing relies on this & as it's live wind it's rather accurate

Take a browse mate & I'm sure you will be impressed with some of it's features

When you say you can see it - do you mean through your gun sight..........

Be careful what you're aiming at over the weekend, you might just get more than you bargained for!!!

Depends what time you came by Phil. All of the action was Friday and Sat really. Most people left around mid day Sunday due to drives home etc.

Wind was quite fierce with it gusting over 30mph. I was pretty wired on a 4.9m Blade IV but wanted more when on the 4.9m Blade V.

Still a good weekend had by all and another one with dates about to be announced soon

This one was a bit more of a party weekend, the next will have more of a chilled out theme

Planning on getting back in to this properly soon. Went out again on Saturday afternoon and had another good little session.

Got my mate (Phil) all set up with his 3m Beamer-III, after a bit of messing about getting it flying right, he's hooked now.

My other mate (Kev) is still on the look out for a kite and a board, he is also getting some kite surfing stuff too! He's done it a few times before and said it's great fun.
