New Brighton Weather Station Here is the rest Dave....... its done by young Ben as a uni project think hes done well.......... a comprehensive tool for wind addicts.........all in one place........twitter feed is ave. you can get used to for on the go updates............ let me know what you think .......... hinted befor but it was secret.......... and bare with any glitches as it just go live.............. the real time wind on the site could be suceptiable to same problems as cobe but all other resources in 1 place

15-19 now cobs 23-26 in my yrs of using cobs i guess without being there it is around 20.......but this should be more reliable and not so prone to breakages in storms interested on your findings dave ? My guess over a suistained test cobs will read slightly over but only time will tell using averages if this will read true or slightly uner due to localisation this averages the coast there . What we aiming for is reliabilty but its a new service and keep your eyes peeled for more development

I find cobs always reads a couple of knots over due to the wind meter being on hilbre and the wind shooting up the hills. After some early teething problems as its new what is nice about this is it should not go down as frequently as cobs. It takes an average from many resources. However as willl all forecasts and readings a little self interpration and comon sense, local knowledge and experience it should be a nice reliable resource.In the past i used to look at cobs which was always over exept in a sse then xc crosby area which was always under as its behind the dune then take an ave However in all my years down there there are always surprises and thos who follow regular weather have our own formulas we develop to create our own madcap forecasts and estimates hehehehe ;)

Did anyone ever play MARIO KITE 64. Toad was the best. Toad kites on a Razor, ho ho ho

Lessons have finished for the winter season, but don't worry we will be back up and running on April 1 for spring. Although you will see guys out kitesurfing all winter it is a whole different thing kiteing on top of the water and being inside the water trying to learn, once you are too cold your brain shuts down and so does your learning capacity. We are however running lessons from Boracay Philippines for the winter so if anyone is interested in a winter escape contact Melvyn through the website he can arrange courses and accomodation for you, also airport transfers, kite-surfaris and advice on flights. Scotty however will be around most of the winter so if you need anything UK based dont hesitate to conact him through the web site. Vegas rocks paulo u coming for a visit?

hows it going there guys nice n warm and windy here sorry

mmmmm.... told ya so col ...... lol

also forgot to say buggying and landboarding has to be done at meols or dips for land boarders,buggying through wirral landyachting club,all this can be checked with senior costal ranger Jo Hanik at leasowe lighthouse......super cool guy if u have any quieries about the reasons for this he will be more than happy to explain the reasons why and i know some of the landboarders were confused as to why.It down to Mainly dog walkers and beach traffic.If u have other ideas to expand your locations he will be proactive in opening further suiatable zones for you.The ranger here is very supportive of the kite community,but there are over 200 beach user groups he has to consider.

Hi guys a few people were a little confused down the beach as to the zones it has been in the coastal news from wirral council and we list the rigging zones on our site i have updated it with the basic guides for kitesurfing at New Brighton and West Kirby.We do work quite hard to keep these zones as open and as vauge as possible.Ourselves and the ranger are fairly anti zoneing.Most of them are common sense stay away from public anything hard keep out of the way of the lifeboat launch marked by a yellow bouy at derby pool lifeguard tower.Stay away from big rock sea defences at leasowe bay(doh they hard but also landing zone for birds on the way to hilbre island)Respect bird zones at west kirby some of the rarest roosting birds in europe use hilbre island we are very lucky they allow us to kite there so lets not spoil it for everyone.there is a link to our locations page with rigging zones and recommended safe distances.Lets keep this area self policed and free from restrictions.There are a lot of beginers end of every summer if they look lost guys lets polietly inform them of the dangers. There is only so much we can do we have all seen in the past the things that can happen so lets all work together to keep it as cool and laid back as it is down there now....... airforcekitesurfing.com/locations.html
