Re: Sat 6th June
Think I'll risk a Weston morning session as the forecast looks good. High tide at 10am.

Re: Thurs 28th May WSM
Yep, a classic WSM session on the Kombat 96 with a 5.7 for me, best this year. A 4 hour session with a couple of breaks, nicely knackered afterwards.

Re: Sunday 31 May
Glad I took a gamble on the beach being open. After watching a bit of motocross I went out on the Quad with a 5.7 and was pretty overpowered so cranked on the downhaul. That was manageable and made for exciting gybes, so stuck with it for quite a while to make the most of the 'easier' conditions on ...

Re: WSM Sat.16th.th.May
Really good session on the 5.3 and Quad 92 in the sunshine, with the local effect in full swing boosting the westerly wind. In fact I was getting overpowered at times early on which was taking its toll on my arms, but adding a bit more downhaul solved that problem. As always with the evening tides, ...

Re: WSM Saturday
Turned out to be a very good session in the end, on the 5.7 on my Naish 110. Bit underpowered at times in the gusty wind which made it a bit tricky when the sea state was a bit lumpy but it got better and better as it cleaned up after high tide. Sunny and pretty warm too. Loads out including IanH an...

WSM Saturday
Worth a look I think, with high tide at 11am and some wind from the west. Fingers crossed.

Re: Holiday Weekend
It looked like the south coast was going to be a good bet but as I'd not got to bed until 4am I wanted somewhere local. I see IanH scored at Portland too (windsurfing wise).

Re: May day in Hurghada
Sounds like you're having a good time there. Are you using the new Harry Nass place? It looks good on the video on the Harry Nass website, with the familiar faces of Toby and Fi from Dahab helping to promote it.

Re: Holiday Weekend
Hi Davin, Yeah, I gave up on it too. Half a dozen kiters were out briefly until a heavy shower came over and killed the wind off again. Conditions definitely weren't tempting. I have to say the forecast was never more than 50:50 anyway so I wasn't surprised by the skunking. Some you win, some you lo...

Re: Holiday Weekend
Funnily enough Davin I'm waiting at Weston too! Red VW T4, come and say hello.

Re: Sat 28th March Axbridge (yet again)
Went to Weston, got there at the very neapy high tide. About half a dozen windsurfers out on 5.5ish, but wind reported to be very gusty. Didn't look too inviting and wind seemed be taking a bit of a break so chatted quite a bit until the wind filled in around 1.30pm. Had a decent hour on the Quad 92...

Re: Sunday March 1st
Not what you'd call an epic session. The wind came in just before the rain and coincided with me getting on the water, so that I was immediately overpowered on a 5.7. Had a few runs then thought about changing down, the rain turned briefly to hail and back to rain that looked like it was there to st...

Sunday March 1st
A new month and about time I got out for the first time this year in this country so planning to check out WSM this afternoon. High tide at 4pm so will get there for 1ish. Will be bringing my thermals.

Re: Portland Sunday 20th
Adrian,
Commiserations, hope it's not your drinking arm. I think you need them both for knitting too. At least a kitesurfing injury has got a bit more street cred than, say, knocking yourself out with your car tailgate!
Hope it heals soon and you have a good Christmas anyway.
