bartiebat1599968741 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 Hmm, 9mph forecast for low tide.... I'll meet you half way on saturday then!! The cinema car park in dudno junction?? @ Bigbud - it's nice though gets a bit busy & sometimes a bit too wavey for me (6 month newby) - plenty of people to help land & launch there though Quote
Bigbud Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 Cheers I might try and get down, Windguru Pro is saying 13mph gusting to 17/18mph for most of the day so should be enough even for a bit of body dragging Board starts are still a work in progress Jim Quote
bartiebat1599968741 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 just trying 2 get hold of matt 2 see when hes back cos hes got most of his kit Tuesday might be good at westshore for an after skool sesh? Take it off you then???? I don't mind, whatevers easiest. I have a hair do tomorrow morning though, so can only get on the island for midday & really need to save fuel money if there's no wind (it magic's from nowhere when it's windy!! ) Can't do Wednesday as need to take bugs to mum's & Thursday we go - whoop whooooop My fancy dress outfit is truly horrendous!hehe Quote

Ahh, if the waves seem too big on the right then move to the left!! There's definitely a bit that's less wavey! Quote

flying ribster Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 @ Liam, that was last week!! You missed all the fun & excitement of 3 days driving to skool with a full quiver of kites, wetkit & a board squashed nicely in the back of a teeny C2, watching the 22mph wind on XC all day, only to drive straight home every night when it dropped to 8mph!! We need a wakeboard boat between us!! Doh oh well this week then give us a message! Dont get me started on boats too! Quote
Sammy1599968740 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 mmmm.. 17! Lligwy or llanddona today anyone??? Text us if anyone decides to head to the lsland. low water midday. so plenty of beach all day at llanddona. beach disappears quick for land stuff atr lligwy. Quote
crabman Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 Hi there guys Will be going to North Wales for a few days next week, staying in Prestatyn. Will of course be taking the kites, and hopefully I'll see some of you on the beach... Here's me hoping my SPKA insurance will suffice. Are there any restrictions I need to watch out for? I don't want to arrive there and land the rest of you in the sh!t by disregarding any rules that may be in place... Quote
thisisnatty Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 looky here for all restrictions on all beaches in north wales area: http://www.ukkiting.com/beaches.php Quote
bartiebat1599968741 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 That was the best "10mph" I've ever had in my life!!! Immense day, thanks again for the text to get me out the hairdressers to boot it all the way to Llanddona Hair looks cr@p, smile looks wicked :D Quote
Sammy1599968740 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 thought hair looked fiiiine!! 10mph definitely wasnt the order of the day. cracking session!! Quote
Plezzy Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Video from a trip to West Shore in early April Not the best edit I've ever done, bit rushed, but captures the day. Watch out for the 'Laurel and Hardy' kite launch:D Paul. Quote
FO Kite Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Before launching the kite, lay your lines out in front of you and check their attachment. Step back but make sure you do not step inside the lines as this can lead to you dancing like a wally. Think I may be hitting mid Wales this weekend. Quote
scotty boi Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 haha nice one paul yer the LEI just didn't kite me that day plus i was being doppy. Any of you guys going 2 atmosphere? Quote
Plezzy Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Think I may be hitting mid Wales this weekend. May join you. If we get reasonable wind/weather we're looking to do Borth, or somewhere along that coast on Sat. P. Quote

bartiebat1599968741 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Nice vid again Mr Plezzy May bank hol 22/23/24 Dave/Sammy have organised an ever growing camping trip - I need to call up the campsite to add on my mates who have a camper rather than a tent. Before I ring - anymore for anymore?? The plan is stay in (the cheapest) Rhosneigr & go daily where the wind blows, but as it's possibly a busy weekend just need to add extra numbers on to those folk who've already booked - let me know & I'll add you aswel Ps After skool sesh at Westshore tomorrow???

Bigbud Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 Anyone at Lliwgy in the morning Dont care if theres no wind, im pumping these kites up then running down the beach with them behind me Then Im going for a swim Jim Quote
bartiebat1599968741 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Posted April 27, 2009 Brilliant weekend at Atmosphere. Wind was either completely off or completely on & soft sand made for some interesting face plants & walks of shame, but that just added to the amusement factor! Thanks to the students for putting up with us old gits; looking forward to 3 weeks of no alcohol before pickling ourselves again end of May bank hol weekend Forecast looks good for a wet after skool sesh Thursday & a dry island visit next weekend? .... & then they instantly update it Quote
Plezzy Posted April 27, 2009 Report Posted April 27, 2009 @ Bartiebat - Glad you had a good time. Can't wait for all the follow up posts form the Bangor crew:rolleyes: Tried Borth on Sat. Bit of a trek and we were only travelling from Bala. Firm, flat beach. Ideal if it had been onshore:rolleyes: 10 mins in Ian took a tumble. Thought he was milking it as conditions were a bit gusty (challenging), until he rolled his up his kecks (showing my age there:o). Huge swelling:eek: ...on his knee. Could hardly walk so 3 hours driving for 10 mins flying. ..but will definitely try the beach again. I'll now sit back and wait for the Atmos invasion:D Not jealous at all. P. Quote
