Nice one for all the info. I think I'll give it a whirl. Especialy if you can use them in lower winds.
Mind you I did hear if you use a very boyant kite surfing board more like a surf board on lighter wind days you could even achieve some upwind.
As for a sesion this weekend it doesn't look good. My landboard needs some major TLC and parts for her. When I'm up and ready I'll give you a shout. I'm up near Llantrisant in Tonyrefail.
Thanks all.
