Katch Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Has anyone ever had a go riding on this lake? Really want some flat water to play on and was thinking about heading over to it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katch Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 tried calling them tday but no answer... maybe i can just sneak out onto the lake... surely they won't notice a 12m orange thing in the sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northrhinodude3 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 when i asked up there they said no kite surfing the north cost is real good for wake style stuff the flat spots im between the waves are great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katch Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 just a bit wound up after my last session at watergate - nearly lost my board in the rip and kept ending up on the beach as the water disappeared from under me. quite disconcerting loading up your rail for a trick only to see sand appearing under you.

sukie Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 watergate isnt the best really, i hardly ever ride there anymore. daymer and hawkers are great, lovely and flat. yesterdaY at perran, lovely big flat spots, but was rather windy, was overpowered on my 7! very nice though!

Oh and Siblyback is a definite no - same for all the SW Lakes Trust... shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsun101 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 The south west lakes trust rules actually state that two kitesurfers are allowed on there lakes at any one time! So, officially, kitesurfing IS allowed. However, if you call any of the lakes, the staff will tell you otherwise. I would suggest turning up with a copy of the rules and pointing out to the staff at the centre that their own rules state that you can fly. They'll probably try and charge you a launch fee but its gotta be worth a go!! Stithians might be the better option as Siblyback gets V gust and isn't as big!
