thanks a lot. but unfortunately i have no idea where anything is! can you tell me what town? Bude? Westward?

Sorry ,but that's not strictly true. When I phoned up and asked for a permit I was asked to fill in a form, which she would post to me, post that and a copy of my insurance back and then would have to wait 4-5 days for my permit to arrive. However, I did just turn up and fly and had no problems.

Dont know if anyone has said this , make sure you can get your whole foot across the board with your toes over the far edge. If you dont the board will arc out as soon as you start moving. V V frustrating. Whatever happens stick with it. So worth it! Good luck regards Shane

Cheers, how did you get on. I'm mostly a beginner myself.

Any boarding to be had in or around Minehead? Beach preferable;) cheers Shane

Any Kite surfing to be done in or around Minehead? Cheers Shane

Two things. Can I use a Zero 4 bar and lines with a 14m Slingshot Fuel? Felt ok when I tried it on land but just wondering. Also, I have a Cabrinha board, the footstraps are supposed to be adjustable but are extremely tight, to the extent that if I were wearing boots I would not be able to get my feet in them. As I am just starting off I wondered if this would have any effect on the ride? regards Shane

Hey Barry, long time , no see. If you can sort out a weekend I would love to come down. Great site regards Shane

What do the Rangers require for a permit? BBC insurance card? Proof of ID?

Still coming up for the Rugby-bit cryptic for those that didnt see my post:) Do Easterly winds effect landboarding that badly?

Thanks for all your help. May see a few of you before the match next week. I see high tide is about 8.30-when is the beach "boardable" as in KGB? regards Shane
