gixxer1 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 A few more sites for you. Unfortunately they can all, at times, give different forecasts but are pretty similar for tomorrow. http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/tomorrow.asp?zipcode=wv5 http://ukie.accuweather.com/adcbin/ukie/ukie_forecast_1to5day.asp?postalcode=WV5%200 http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-bin/regframe?3&LANG=en&PLZ=WV5&PLZN=Wolverhampton&PRG=citybild http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php I can give you directions or a lift, your call, I have to go through wombourne to get there. Or we can meet @ Ounsdale to make sure its worth the drive. I've room for 2 in the van. Quote
SafeGaz Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 The wind over the past week has been bloody awful! Been dying to get out with the kite! Quote
TheBeast Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 i hear that gaz!..been terrible.....hopefully should pick up in a few days Quote
.TheBeest. Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Posted September 3, 2005 Sounds good dude, I think its best if we all meet up at Ounsdale 1st to assess the situation (nick ;-) ) and see if theres any point making the drive. If you could make it down gaz that would take our number up to 5 if my bro joins in, so it could be a pretty sweet day. Metchck rekons its 8mph midday, its not awesome but it sounds pretty good for the time of year. What time do you want to meet... 11 on the car park? post a message on here as soon as you can and if anyone else wants to tag allong then please just put a post on here and well sort something out. cya mat Quote
.TheBeest. Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Posted September 3, 2005 come on dudes, are you u for it today? Quote
SafeGaz Posted September 3, 2005 Report Posted September 3, 2005 The wind is not looking great today! Beest congrats on the Sabre, looks like a beast of a kite! Didnt you have a blade 6.6m or was it always a 4.9m? Think I might get a blade for myself soon! Quote
.TheBeest. Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Posted September 3, 2005 Hey gaz. Yes the wind is variable but i rekon it could be quite good. The Sabre is ace dude, and I have got the Blade III 4.9 aswell. Getting a Blade might be a bit of a mistake this soon, you might want to realy seriously get used to your bullet and maybe a board before you start thinking about a blade. They are awesome kites but quite unforgiving, your bullet can handle a wide range of winds while the blades wind range would be much less and in high winds it realy take you for a ride. You might think youve got the bullet mastered but just keep on trying it in higher winds and you will see the power it has and you might think twice about getting a blade just now. As for today, were going to be setting off in abit and should be at Ounsdale at about 12:45, hopefully we will see you there l8az mat Quote
Nickob7 Posted September 3, 2005 Report Posted September 3, 2005 yo beest i was pricing it up and it wud be cheaper to buy from powerkite shop after adding import tax Quote
zebedee Posted September 4, 2005 Report Posted September 4, 2005 Hey up all, Beast seen you down at Ounsdale yesterday, was having my hair cut.....looked out of the window and there where kites moving around in the sky. Wish I could have caome over and said hi but I'm so busy at the mo. Sounds like you have been out loads, have not done a great deal. Been over to Wales a couple of times but thats about all. Brought a new car and it has left me a bit skint, but hay hopefully things will change and I will get chance to come out again soon. Keep up the good fight Zeb Quote
gixxer1 Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 Sorry I missed you guys. The other half reminded me we had to get some birthday pressies for my niece so I ended up going out early at 8am till 10.30. It was a tad gusty but not too bad. Is anyone going to the kite jam at LLandudno this weekend? Quote
SafeGaz Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 Got a board today so can start boarding with you guys soon! You will have to give me some tips! Got a Scrub Furnace Creek Mk 1 board, brand spanking new, for £100. I think thats a decent deal just waiting for someone to tell me otherwise! Its a pretty nice board, should give me hours of fun and plenty of bruises! Quote
Nickob7 Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 nice work gaz u really cant go wrong with a scrub deck really and for 100 thats a gud deal mate. trust me it gets ten times mbetter now uve got a set of wheels!!!!! we went down to western super mare monday it was brilliant wind really was blasting later on and we tore up the beach!!! thats where the boarding really gets fun!!!! Quote
Nickob7 Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 hows it goin gixxer1, i didnt know there was a kite jam on this weekend are u goin!!!! Quote
.TheBeest. Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Posted September 8, 2005 Howdo everybody Western was awesome, we had a nice stretch of beach totally to our selfs it was just an awesome say and there wasnt much of the beach left after we came home. Gaz... you are mad, 1st a bullet, then thinking about a blade and now a board, your moving in leaps and bounds, and alsong as you dont try to go too fast you will be ok, id just cool it down a litle bit and concentrate on kiteboarding before your wallet feels the strain of another purchase! gixxer... We really need to meet up sometime dude, hopefully we can do something on the weekend, what going on at LLandudno? I havnt heard of it before... If our driver is willing (thats you nick) then we might be able to make it if its any good. zebedee... Long time no see, can you make it out this weekend, and maybe catch a glimps of my shiny new Sabre... anyway, you do need to come down sometime, test out the buggy in the field or even better at ounsdale in a bigger wind than before. Hopefully all of us could meet up on the same day, so that could be possibly 6 or 7 kites in the sky at the same time, and thats not bad at all Heres a wuick pic from monday at western when we totally ripped up the beach, some guys with Phantoms turned up for a while but they just couldnt handle the stuff we were pulling and they had to leave us with the beach all too our selfs. http://www.thebeest.dsl.pipex.com/temp/DSC03907.jpg Quote
gixxer1 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Hey guys. Weston looked good. I made do with a night sesh @ Ounsdale on Wednesday once the footballers had finished at 7.30 upto 9.00. Good job they have outside lights!!! Turned out to be a pretty good sesh. Bad news is that they have put a fence up around Codsall school so no-one can get in outside school hours:mad:. The kite jam is organised by Turbulance a shop in Llandudno. (See link below,) I've not been before but its an annual do apparently. We are at my folks in laws' caravan this weekend down the road in Dwygyfylchi (great language), so thought we'd check it out. There's a party on Sat night so can't be bad!! Hopefully there will be a nice onshore wind as I want to have a bash in the water. Wifey is getting very keen as well which is even better. Beest, it would be cool to meet up with everyone. As autumn sets in hopefully the winds will come!!! http://www.kitejam.co.uk/images/logo.gif http://www.kitejam.co.uk/ Quote
.TheBeest. Posted September 10, 2005 Author Report Posted September 10, 2005 Sorry mate we cant make the Kitejam, and the weather here is terrible. Shame about the fence, I was looking forward to having a bash at codsall. Hopefully we will all have a big meet before me and Nicko leave for uni Keep in touch mat Quote
Nickob7 Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 i hear that gixxer, hopefully the wind will pick up now with spetmeber rolling on and we can get some really good sessions in before me and beest head of to uni, u up for it?? Quote
gixxer1 Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 Sorry to say but it was a good weekend in wales. It was good to see good kiters 'live'. The wind really kicked off Saturday afternoon for the kite surfers. Unfortunately we missed out on the party as I didn't realise tickets had to be bought in advance but we managed to get ****** anyway. Managed a couple of good beach sessions. You forget how much better it is than a field! Force 3 winds are forecast for Tuesday evening if any ones up . Quote
.TheBeest. Posted September 12, 2005 Author Report Posted September 12, 2005 Im up for it dude There is absolutely no wind today its terrible, so im going to out on the bike instead (push not motor ). Glad to hear you had a good time at the bash, and hopefully we will all meet up soon Quote
gixxer1 Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 Wind permitting I'll be down at ounsdale around 7ish tomorrow. 7.30 I guess if they are playing football, so maybe see you there. I'm off on the push bike tonight too. Quote
becca_578 Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 hey dudes anyone flying this week? new to forum need some peeps to play wit!! Quote
SafeGaz Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 The wind has been so poor lately here, have been itching to get out and perform some juicy wipeouts on my brand spanker of a board! The rest of the week is looking pretty good though so I will definitely be about! Just leave a message on here regarding when and where and I will try and be there! Quote
gixxer1 Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 Well it looks like the forecast looks like it was right. If anyones about I'm heading to Ounsdale 7-7.30 ish (earlier if there's no football, ) to wrap myself round a goal post.http://community.flexifoil.com/images/icons/wacko.gif Quote
SafeGaz Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 I think I will head there too....just come back from a bit of a session but have to take advantage of this wind! Quote
