Bristol Nomads Windsurfing Club

Hope it worked for you today Bob, view from our office was quite promising, cheers, Richard

Very good day at Stithians today. Fairly constant wind from the North West, so cross shore from the launch area. 40 plus boards out as part of the annual windsurf rally which looked as if was being sponsored by Starboard. Got a tad over 24 knots on the GPS, felt faster........

We are heading down to St Tudy, not far from Damer at the weekend, plan to stop off at Roadford lake for a blast on Friday.......

Light winds at the lake yesterday, but with six boards out, a sociable time, very quiet on the wind front today, may have to reach for the golf clubs.......

Appreciate its a long shot, but if anyone is in the area, I plan to be at Roadford tomorrow and possibly Saturday, providing body holds up.....

No prob's Graham, the big kit would have probably worked at times, but it was very marginal, we (Alison, Ruth & Phil) decided to do one of the new walks, which was a pleasant alternative to getting wet. Did take a tour of the new club house which is quite impressive......

Anybody planning on stopping by the lake tomorrow ?

Many thanks for posting a speed Matt, was good to see folk enjoying themselves, sorry I didn't get wet myself Cheers, Richard

Just for interest, anybody fancy a day out at the lake?

Should see some summer sun and a breeze.......

Cheers Richard

Evening Graham, think its a bit of both, folk getting out less and the forum is loosing out to the likes of facebook..... Not sure what the answer is, l did have a conversation with Harry Nass back in May about Windsurfing in general and his thoughts were the costs are becoming prohibitive for the y...

Wow, two days on the water with reasonable winds culminating with an excellent BBQ come Saturday evening, ok, would have been good to have a few more folk on the water, but maybe next year :) bye the way, recorded a reasonable speed given first outing on UK waters this season, will publish in the ne...

.... and we have ours, hopefully not tempting fate, but sun & wind in the forecast

Took the trip over the bridge, without kit I might add, to see for ourselves the new facilities at Wales's best kept secret. Looks good from the new cafe, few out, but not great conditions with a predominantly westerly wind, at least that's how it appeared from where we were, take care Richard

So, three days in and from a very light wind start, things beginning to pick up. Had a good two hours blasting yesterday and a similar session this morning, although today was very gusty and after four morning & afternoon outing's on the trot, was almost relieved when it died away later to make ...

Thinking of taking the trek down to the windsurf shack come the morning, have been told the RRD Xfire 122 will be ready to go Light'ish winds here in Foca today, but probably a good thing as first day on the water and all that.....
