  1. Provided you walk about 100 or so metres down the beach past the white stone to set up its fine to kite surf there all year round. Just remember to be curtious to the surfers and stay away from where they are catching the wave (north end of the beach).
  2. I've just created a group on facebook for us, thinking behind this is that we all visit facebook more regularly than we do this forum. If you pm me your facebook name i'll send an invite out to you.
  3. Sounds good, just sending you a text now.
  4. Anyone up for a session tomorrow? I'm on vacation now hence looking to get out.
  5. Anyone up for an afternoon session tomorrow? It looks probably the best forecast for the week, text me if you're interested. I'm aiming to depart for the coast around 1pm.
  6. Good to hear that someone got out, that's got to be the first time in nearly 3 months? We were enjoying the snow of south east France And DM made a special guest appearence
  7. Spud, got a North Evo 12m not flown it yet thou' so no idea what its like. Heading off to Cape Verde in May so fingers crossed it gets a fly prior to that.
  8. Ghostly silence in here the last few weeks... so I'm thinking as there's more action on facebook than. Should we create a facebook group for us all?
  9. Give us a shout also, looks like fun.
  10. nope, no problems at all with the cleat.
  11. curry would be good, I espeicaly like the idea of trying to get a Raj discount card Snap, no snowboard. Never even been on a ski'ing holiday but Sally has been ski'ing several times. Perhaps its time I started.
  12. Sorry, they are now sold.
  13. NN, ski/snowboard session? Sally and myself may well be interested, for me all I need is a learner slope
  14. Seriously thou', have you had an opportunity to fly it since the meala few weeks ago. If so what are your thoughts on it?
  15. Makes me feel better, I thought my expectations were higher than 3x given my common nose diving.
  16. NN, looking to boost big... real big. I reckon 3ft
  17. DM, sounds like you are having a great time. Where are the pictures?!? Sold my Ozone's to a fella that lives just one junction up the M3 who's looking to get on the water so we may have added company sometime.
  18. Great condition 8m and 12m Ozone Light XC kites, includes bar/lines, bags, manuals, pump and repair packs. Purchased in March/April 2009 both kites have been used but taken good care of. Fantastic kites that will meet the expectations of all but the most advanced rider. Only reason for selling is that as a heavier rider (85kg+) I should have purchased a 14/10m combination which is exactly what I now plan to do. Both kites are in fantastic condition with both having just one pin-hole in the same place caused by one dizzy blonde who landed both my kites and proceeded to thrown some beach shells onto them. As a result both kites have a small black patch in exactly the same place. Asides from this kites/bar/bags are all immaculate. £900 + postage, available for local collection around Reading/Basingstoke area. PM for any other enquiries. All photo's below taken towards the end of September, kits have only been used a couple of times since then. 8m Light XC http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2443/3915188182_d23c08e1ee_t.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3475/3914403117_1deec2e272_t.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3914402895_c3242d9dc9_t.jpg 12m Light XC http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2517/3915187956_8c0f10e60e_t.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2549/3914403615_129775d829_t.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2428/3915187478_f2306f30b5_t.jpg 8m and 12m Light XC Together http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3485/3915186794_a0e41bbec5_t.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2643/3914404381_67dc0d2ecf_t.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2645/3915189230_d641e381d8_t.jpg Bags, Manuals and Bar http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2657/3915186554_82df1241e2_t.jpg
  19. Spud, I'll be up for a session DM, sounds like you are having a real good time. Has the sun arrived also or is it wet and windy? Hope you had a good Christmas day with the spanish ladies
  20. hi, if you want an Ozone LEI with low end grunt under 15knots whilst using a TT I'd recommend the Zephyr. Ozone's are great kites but for us heavier riders lack low end grunt unless you ride a directional.
  21. Looking at the metoffice they are forecasting sunday as westerly 17-20mph with gusts up to the 30s. Might turn out to a michael fish forecast thou'.
  22. Freezer session is fine, like Spud I'm all kitted out to handle these temperatures. At least for a short duration. Saturday is looking nice with westerly's and Sunday is also looking good but with sunshine forecast.
  23. I'd be available definitely, any evening this week. Wind looks to be perhaps up for something on Sat/Sun if we are lucky so perhaps we could combine a coast trip with some food?
  24. They are Light XC's. Next time we are at the coast you can have a try.
  25. Jeez, price. I had not really thought about that. Looking around at the moment there are some pretty good discounts available meaning you could get the pair new for as low as £1151. Guess as both of mine are in good condition other than the black patch over the pin hole the stupid girl at hayling caused when she landed them.... do not get me started on this topic! I digress, I reckon around £850 for the pair.
