Shaded Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thinking of visiting Ainsdale this Sunday - we due good winds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDave Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 It's a bit early to tell, I'd check later in the week. XC Weather will give you 7 days info Wind Map - Britain Observations Cobs is more accurate but only gives you 2 days info Mesoscale Model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaded Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Thanks JohnDave - im likely going to just hand around South Beach Blackpool until I stop looking like a nubbins with my arms flailing before I start to venture where other people are.

JizzMonkey Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Hiya Long time no kiting. Was hoping to get up the dale today weather permitting for a bit of a play and let the relatives have a bit of a fly before the fireworks later on. Are we on winter kite zone yet or still summer? Thanks Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Evening all, I've finally got my permit for Ainsdale, so looking forward to getting out. What wind directions work for land boarding at Ainsdale? Cheers JP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulLaurie Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Evening all, I've finally got my permit for Ainsdale, so looking forward to getting out. What wind directions work for land boarding at Ainsdale? Cheers JP North Westerly is perfect, but winds from North to West work ok. Low tide obviously gives you the most beach. Avoid anything with an S in the direction as it will be off shore and horribly gusty as the dunes mess up the currents badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) Perfecto day people. Mid twenties WSW all day long Goons seem to last forever and no need for hats and gloves just yet. Big waves got me in the end, gave me a good spin rinse, pulled the board off my feet including the screw holding a pad down - ended the day for me. @Mark - Hope your water session went well dude Might be a treat of a windy weekender on the way. EDIT: Just noticed XC and COBS are way apart - XC predicting a 'don't miss it' day and COBS 'stay at home you ain't missing nowt'.

Bobby Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Took the Flydoor down and took a dip on Sunday but majorly struggled in that light wind cept for maybe a half hour or so when it picked up brilliantly. Don't fly much in bang on Northerlies and it can be a pain getting out crashing through big waves and falling into deep troughs with a massive door on your feet but coming back in more than makes up for it . Felt like a 'proper' surfer, kite parked at 10 o'clock, riding on top of a big roller, coming in dead straight with the beach, crash over the top when it breaks and carve back out to sea, very, very cool. If that WSW high teens breeze stays with us for Wednesday then thats for me. HT at 13:30ish so perfecto for getting down about 10 and riding the tide in. Sunshine, a big 13deg and...it's my birthday so cake and beer for any dude who makes it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 OK ladies, Satdy looks a good'un. Dust off those kites, climb into the rubber and lets get out there. No need for gloves and booties, double figure temps, sunshine all day and a decent and warm WSW to blow us in. LT at 10:30 and the best of the wind for the early birds. Keep off the shandy, get to bed early and I'll see you on the water for 10ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Nice vid as always dude You were pretty awesome on Sat, seeing the movie I wondered were the faceplant outtakes were, but thinking about it, I don't think you made any. Great day on Satdy, Rimmer was pulling some great stuff on the water. Waves were massive and the weather was perfecto 11m, could'av been a bit more Northherly but that monster goon that developed was big enough even in a cross-on. Had some guys kite fall out the sky, hit mine then collapse in a torn tangled heap. Crap luck but nobody was hurt. And still not too cold Had a day snowboarding in Chillfactore today, It ain't my first love but for something different I'd recommend it.

PsychoCabDriver Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Yeah the knees are all fixed and healed now bud, strong enuff for some buggy fun most likely. just gotta steer clear of the high impact stuff, i.e. massive lifty kites lol although i must admit I have been very very tempted. Whats new with you buddy? PCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Merry Xmas you lucky people, gifts galore tomorrow. Bang onshore mid teens, LT at 10ish so infilling goons all day long, bits and bobs of sun and a big high of 9deg. Last decent Saturday of 2010 so come on ladies make an effort. Once you've dragged yourself into the rubber wear, pulled on the beanie and the gloves and made that step into the water, I bet you a beer you're gonna love it. Best of the wind for the early birds.
