lard man Posted August 5, 2005 Author Report Posted August 5, 2005 does anyone know any good kitesurfing spots in poole Quote
kitingplasterer Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 hello mate, alot of people kite at Sandbanks which is other side of the harbour. Nice shallow/Flat waters and i think you can kite in all wind directions. I have only been there once a few weeks ago but the local crew all seemed like nice people. Quote
lard man Posted August 5, 2005 Author Report Posted August 5, 2005 has any one got any pics of the harbour because i cnt wait that long to c what it looks like Quote

DaftCookie Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 lard man, i normally use xcwether.co.uk or bbc for wind predictions.. http://www.purbeck-dc.gov.uk/content/weather/index.html is also good, but it seems to be fooked at the moment. As to where people kite at poole, just go to sand banks...depending on wind direction you have the choice of the harbour in S - W - NW directions..or the beach side which works in NE - E - S directions. Harbour is normally more gust though but is sweet in NW. Have fun. DC. Quote
lard man Posted August 5, 2005 Author Report Posted August 5, 2005 thats any direction classss i love poole in sunderland we can only go out in north south or east Quote
DaftCookie Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 If your learning mate, stick with the harbour...gets deep quickly on the beach side. Quote
flyer_gaz Posted August 6, 2005 Report Posted August 6, 2005 Hi Lard Have to agree with what DC said - stick to the harbour m8 if your still learning. Funny you should ask what the winds are as i am now on leave and planning to spend as much time in the harbour as i can ... Saturday west Sunday north west Monday west Tuesday west Wednesday east All good apart from maybe wednesday. I havent put the windspeeds on as they have been very inacurate recently forcasting 5 mph and then its blowing 15-20 !! Keep an eye out for me and my nephew - were flying guerilla II's 15, 11 and 9 depending on the winds and can be found in weird lookling white mazda camper wid a raised roof if were not on tha water and waiting for the wind. Have fun! Gary Quote
