Noo Noo Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 Certainly sounded interesting. Oh yes Marko. have you got those links for changing MP4's or whatever?
DjMoz Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 A bit late this morning NN, whats the matter slept in?
mark o Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 NN, just sent you a pm regarding the video issue. Question for you all. Saturday was great but Sunday I was aching all over but very unusually the soles of my feet are painful to walk on without having padded trainers on. This is probably due to the run I had to do across the beach but might my board be contributing to it?
Noo Noo Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 Nope I think its the running / no shoes thing. Suffer from the same thing. You know me I get all excited when there's kites about. Running round like a nutter launching, landing all over the place. Gets me more in N Wales where there's a lot of sand when the tides out. Lots of walking. I also think its something to do with the shoes you wear during the day etc. I now choose to ignore it based on the fact that I must be soft wearing shoes. Totally unacceptable. Sleep in. That would be nice. NOT. Waste of time laying there all day. Had to do an emergency trip to Halfords this morning. Not a problem just a stupid and avoidable delay. Cheers for the link Marko. See if it works
snap1 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 Guys, What do you think of this school, heard anything about them? http://www.easyriderskiteboarding.com/courses.html They are the only ones I could fine close that were open all year round. Was looking at the day 2 course as I can fly a kite. Might try and grab a lesson b4 xmas. Still waiting for this paypal payment to go through on the spyder
Noo Noo Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 Day 2 is correct Snap1 with some minor tips on kite set up you'll be fine. That's what I did. Only thing to watch is class size. 1 kite between 2 is OK. Any more and you learn little, get cold and bored.
mark o Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 That school is okkkkk, but from experiance they miss out on a few crucial elements such as tide effect on wind power etc. Possibly the best school is Mobius down in Cornwall, top people (esp. Lawrence) who will teach you everything you need to know. Definitely worth a weekend trip to Cornwall.
mark o Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Seems like someone's full of morning cheer.
Noo Noo Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Nope. unfortunatley not. At work so the cheer is subdued. Making up lost time Did you get my email MarkO?
johnforshaw2003 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Should finally be able to get some flying in now as the wife had the baby yesterday morn
DjMoz Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Congrats John - Even though we have not met.
johnforshaw2003 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Cheers DM should be down at crabtree asap
DjMoz Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 And he reckons he can get out more now that the little one is born! Good luck with that. I reckon you should sell your kites now and give up any idea of kiting. If not you may end up like NN. DM
Noo Noo Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 What's wrong with me? I'm completely sane, rational, reasonable, sound. No loose screws here. A few missing maybe
mark o Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 NN, got your mail. Will look at it as soon as i can, work is killing me at the moment in a very painful way and to make it worse the damn lurgy has hit me. Snap1, you got that new kite of yours yet?
snap1 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 mark o its still clearing in feck1ng paypal, don't think it will get shipped until friday so next week hopefully Looking to get my lession in b4 xmas though, just making the time.
snap1 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 What wind directions are suitable for Poole and Hayling? Planning trips/ lession baesd on wind speed/direction and tides is going to be fun to learn:rolleyes: Any one got a dummies guide to this....
Noo Noo Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 phew rest period. Hayling works on a SE (might stretch to an Easterly) throught to Westerly I think. Look for low tide. About 2hrs either side is best. Plenty of beach and the sandbank / lagoon might appear. DM knows better Poole. Harbour - Southerly round to a North West. I think North West wind is best. Problem is it gets stupid busy as not many other spots will take a NW on the south coast. Tides not really an issue except for low tide means less room but more set up space. Wind can be horrible lumpy, the chop can be fierce and the crowds even worse. Sandbanks (the sea front) - North Easterly round to a South Westerly. Tides not a problem. Gets deep very quickly and the shore dump can be fun. All of the above are based on cross shore and on shore winds.
Noo Noo Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 Bah I've got the lurgy. every chance I'm around this weekend. So who's up for it? I need to blow out the bogeys.
DjMoz Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 Good Morning. Thought I was going to be early today but still cant compete with 7.40
Noo Noo Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 Woaah now there's a surprise. I'm a little late today too. took me 10 minutes to get some drugs (lemsip) on board
Spudley Posted December 6, 2007 Author Report Posted December 6, 2007 Work for me tonight. Will keep an eye on the w/ends plans though.
