Bobby Posted December 11, 2010 Report Posted December 11, 2010 And there's me thinking it'll just be a bit of a decent day. Well and truly stoked Couldn't hold the kite in that morning wind, kept ripping me off the water then it'd lull for half hour then just pick up and blow. Nob on onshore, big sky and massive goons. Coolest feeling carving through the shallows with a low sun, cool tunes, and just me and another dude with the water all to ourselves. Loved it. Not too cold at all - after 3 hours feet got a wee bit icy but nowt really. Nice to see a few old faces down - (hope you had just as good a session Russ) and Carl was ripping it up as usual, making it look way to easy to jump over my 13m That was just a bit better than Xmas shopping. Simple and costs nothing, always the best Quote
LABen2010 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Anyone heading to Ainsdale this weekend? Me and a mate or two are possibly looking to come up on Saturday. Just hoping the wind picks up a little! Quote
LABen2010 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 Looking all confirmed now. Going to be 4 of us going. 3 buggiers and a landboarder. Hope to see some of your there for a blast Quote
chinook Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 I think there is a PKA buggy race there this W/E so there may be restrictions on traction sports this Saturday. Best check with the rangers to prevent a wasted trip. Quote
LABen2010 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 Weird. Just checked with the rangers and apparently they don't know of any events happening until Monday?! Quote
LABen2010 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 This is on the PKA Race link: PKA : Race - Ainsdale First Event of the 2011 National Series kicks off at Ainsdale on 26th - 27th February. Accomodation is available at Pontins again this year - £40/chalet for the weekend (Fri & Sat nights) Check the PKA Website and Event pages for booking details and registration. See you all there....... Looks like should be OK for tomorrow then!! Quote
redmark Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 no events for this weekend im sure so i am heading down there see you there laben2010 right direction lw 10:54 so the beach will be dry and big all day until 16:40 hw but its only a 7.0 so still some beach to use could do with a few more mph but nvm Quote
LABen2010 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 Just got back. Knackered now! Shame there wasn't another 10mph! Was still good to get out though (especially at the beach for a nice change). Nice to meet you Mark. Let me know if you're up for joining us at Shell on the 18th weekend. One of the lads had ordered an 8m neo, which he was hoping to get to use today. Apparently it arrived at his house this morning half an hour after we left. Gutted!! Shame can't get back up there tomorrow as wind looks spot on. Enjoy if you go!! Quote
chorleymatt Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 Was ok there tday think you where the lads who invited me over.... il be there tmoz if the rain holds out Quote
LABen2010 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 Yeah that was us. Shame you left when you did. Picked up soon after for a couple of hours or so then dropped off completely! Managed a 19.2mph run. Wish I could be there tomorrow. Could have a chance of breaking the 30mph barrier then! Will hopefully get a fly in locally (mate wants to try his new kite). Like you say though... all depends on the rain! Gonna have to move closer to a beach! Would save traveling 180miles round trip for pants wind! Just have to make the most of it though I suppose! Quote
chorleymatt Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 Wish i could of stop't but was working at 2 let us no next time u lads are up there agen..... Quote
redmark Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 nice to meet you ben pity it wasnt strong enough the beach and weather was perfect but as usual no wind catch you soon hopefully with some wind under our kites Quote
LABen2010 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 Looks like the four of us are going to be back in the morning. Anyone else down?? Should be there between half 10 and 11. Quote
carltb Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 its off shore at the dale im heading to brs Quote
LABen2010 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Gutted I missed that message carl! Got to Ainsdale for around mid-day. Should have checked tide times!!! Had to wait for a couple of hours for some useable beach! Had some good runs when the tide was out though. Hope BRS was somewhat better! When are you not allowed to kite there? Quote
big-jon Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 There is a race at the Dale this weekend guys, so the beach will be out of action from the morning till the races are over. Quote

PaulLaurie Posted April 23, 2011 Report Posted April 23, 2011 Yippee! Christened my 2011 beach trips. Hope I get there more this year than last. Quote
Danielpollock Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Hey peeps! The forecast looks good at Ainsdale this Sat and Sun afternoon. XC Weather suggests a WNW. The tide will be low so going to be a mission to the sea. Is anyone going? Happy kiting! : ) Quote
chorleymatt Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 be there sunday me have to go pick my new buggy up first thing so its a 300 mile round trip for me then ainsdale to try her out Quote
