Tanners Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 From Lligwy potential, to Llandegla, back now to Llanddona potential - fingers crossed for sunday, we've got a wedding saturday Right okay here is a plan. Wind good lets all go fly a kite if not lets all go ride a bike Enjoy the wedding :):) Quote
flying ribster Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 Black Rock Sands. All day tomorrow. Yes Please!! :D! not impressed at all! some of us are working! Quote
Plezzy Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 Tides not helping this weekend for those who prefer dry flying. Today it's looking good for BRS and Rhossy. BRS HW = 10:40, so afternoon session til it goes dark. Rhossy HW is 12:20ish, so even less beach time. Ideal for the waterbabes though:rolleyes: (Andy/Karen - enjoy the wedding;)) Sunday it's looking like Northerlies, so pick your spot (Llanddona looking good), just set your alarm for a very early start for open beaches as high tide is around 14:30 along the North Coast, including Llanddona. We won't be venturing out this weekend as tied up today and sailing tomorrow. Have fun:D Quote
williamjames555 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 does any1 got to ynyslas near borth Quote
Plezzy Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 does any1 got to ynyslas near borth I've been a few times and other midland flyers (F/O Kite being one) use it. It's a good beach. However, I only go in the Summer as tend to be based in Bala at weekends, so only just over an hour's drive. From home it's 2 hours plus, and if winds are good for there, they're good for BRS or Anglesey, which are easier to get to for me. Quote
Plezzy Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 Here's a pic of the beach if you've not been before. ...with wifey blocking out some of the view:rolleyes: http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr11/Plezzy738/CIMG2010.jpg Quote
Tanners Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 early land sesh @ nova..... havent had the north wind for a while Quote
martincooke Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 Here's a pic of the beach if you've not been before. ...with wifey blocking out some of the view:rolleyes: http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr11/Plezzy738/CIMG2010.jpg That looks a good beach, how long is it Quote
Plezzy Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 That looks a good beach, how long is it The playable area is about 1 mile long, poss a little bit more. Behind the camera there are a series of groynes, whcih I'm pretty sure mark the start of the no-fly zone. However, this might just be for the summer when the bucket and spade brigade are out and about. If flying the whole beach is permissable, then it's probably 3 miles long. No doubt F/O kite will be able to provide the answer if/when he reads this post. Best bit is the North end anyway as beach opens up more when tide is out. P. Quote
Gizmo Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 Borth is an excellent option...loads of space at low tide but nothing at high....its comes right up onto the stones banks..... Sand can be a littel soft in areas but apart from that nothing to really fear about.....go for it you wont be disappointed I know....just dot tell everyone....lol Quote

Brs has a total ban on in the summer due to the sheer number of bucket and spade brigade on it! Just round the corner past the estuary is Harlech too which is lovely for bang on westerlies think me an sammy measured around 3 miles long I think BRS is slightly under this. just measured on google earth its about 1.5 miles long ish Liam Quote
flying ribster Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 anyone free this week tuesday wednesday by the way?? Quote
jamesthebat Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Hi guys after a frustratingly over crowded session at west shore on the weekend, I'm thinking of going further a field next time we get a westerly. I'm just getting into unhooking, raileys etc so need plenty of space and flat water (or rhossy style waves with big flat gaps). Any suggestions. I've only been to BRS at mid tide on a westerly and going across the waves wasn't ideal, I imagine it would be better on a SW. I've heard about lagoons at BRS at low tide, how does they compare with west shore and how long are they there? Also heard Aberdyfi estuary is nice and flat but that is too far for me to travel. Any more suggestions? Quote

FO Kite Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Will you please stop telling everyone about the best kept secret beach in Wales - well it was. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/DiggerDan/ButaneBorth.jpg Quote
Plezzy Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Will you please stop telling everyone about the best kept secret beach in Wales - well it was. [/img] It's good to share;) I'm pretty sure that it's not going to get over run as it's miles from anywhere and takes forever to get there. Hoping to catch up with you on a beach some time soon:D Quote

Any more suggestions? Alright James, BRS lagoons are pretty good. mid to low water. we were there at high water and there werent any. You need to go to the far left (as you look at the sea) of the beach nearer the estuary to get the best lagoons. West works fine if you head down there! Newborough on a big low tide is completely flat - waves break on the sandbars and works in a westerly. Have heard that a few people (namely Ben Todd, organiser of the Rhossy park Jam) ride behind the newborough spit in an SW, Off the house and wreck at Moel Y Don but havent been there and not sure what wind works best.

FO Kite Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Paul - hope to be out this weekend at BRS, maybe see you there. Quote
Bigbud Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Anyone planning on playing at the rock this weekend ? Im there from friday till Sunday Quote
bartiebat1599968741 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Nowhere can match westshore for flat water unfortunately James. Keep westshore for you flat water sessions & everywhere else for play time & making you even better next time you hit westshore. I've been really unlucky with newborough & only ever had flat water there once, the breakers when it's mental & bang onshore can be annoying but it is huge & rarely gets crowded unlike my current fave of rhossy. Haven't tried BRS in the water but we were buggying there a couple of weeks back with gusts probably pushing 35 & it did seem surprisingly flat, nothing like westshore flat though. BRS this weekend? Oh, ok then Quote
_TOM_1597507763 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 yeh deffinately brs just owns, i might sound like a bit of a wimp but i suppose i speak for a few that falling in water is horrible or even when sprays up from your wheels so i wish it dried out a bit quicker because the beach is just massive but most is wet. if that makes any sense.lol need to get in the buggy aswell this weekend! Quote
Sammy1599968740 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 dude, the tide was quite a mid sized one. on lower tides and when the suns out it dries out mega fast. just you wait! Quote

Every time ive been to newy recently its been really flat Love the place but when the waves are big there massive That weekend I was on the water at BRS It was really mad, the waves picked up for about an hour then disappered again, great day that Hold onto yer hats Anglesey looks massive at the weekend, big swell with a big period http://magicseaweed.com/Anglesey-Surf-Report/37/ BRS might be a good call Quote
flying ribster Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Have you been drinking again;) The place in question (in the pic) is Borth, or more precisely, Ynyslas just over the water from Aberdovey.
