Lucky b*****d! Had a tootle on bartie's buggy and landboard for about 30mins. First time out for nearly a year!! Needs to be in the water! @Plezzy Yeah new thread is a good idea too

Im off so give me a shout any time. I have some serious training to do though too!

I went last year. It was good but a bit expensive and small! I believe they have made it a bit bigger now though

Nice one!

someone is possibly interested in my 12m atom, if that goes well then I could be interested. Depends how the funds are doing and if the missus is in a good mood

What u getting rid of it for man!? Thought u would love it doddi

Just bought myself a board the other week after 15 years! Thought I was the only old guy going through his midlife crisis this way Still not dared knock any kids off the parks yet though doddy

Thats a bit of a trek isnt it! How long did it take? No kiting for me until next week now

Android phone all the way! HTC Desire is the phone at the moment. Open source(ish) OS running linux with a market place that is free for anyone to use and publish there apps on so there is plenty of free apps about. Android 2.1 comes with full turn by turn sat nav and lots of other goodies like integrated facebook and contacts merging. However, if your after playing games then android is not for you at the moment. You can only store apps/games on the internal phone memory at the moment so there is little room for big games. It is rumoured that this will be fixed in android 2.2 but not confirmed. doddy

Definately the Desire, just got mine too and love it. I had the G1 so love the android OS. ONLY downside is the battery life of about a day but you get that with most smartphones nowadays. Stay away from X10 it is dog slow although it has the same processor and is only running android1.6 and not the latest 2.1.

especially now that someone has mentioned it

I ride on the river dee Deeside Wakeboard & Waterski Club season hasn't really started yet but will in a couple of weeks. You have to join as a member (first few visits you don't need to join) and then find someone who is looking for extra crew (there is always someone looking) and just help towards the fuel, last year it was around £6 for a 10 minute run, I think it might go a bit higher this year because of cost of fuel etc.

I have just got myself some liquid force soven. I am going to put my old boots on my kiteboard when I can find the right size bolts for them. The old ones are a little softer so in theory easy to get out of in emergencies. The new ones im pretty much welded into

@bartie and @andi - feeling some of your pain today. Went wakeboarding with shiny new boots and went for an epic raley after landing a few 'normal' ones. One hand slipped off so couldnt get my feet back under so did a 20mph faceplant from about 15ft in the air, I think I actually seen my board from behind my head. Needless to say I am now sporting two black eyes, still cant feel my nose and a bruised disc. My boots are wicked though bring on the season!

I managed to fix my kite and was all excited to get out so you can blame me for the lack of wind
