Spudley Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Posted July 2, 2008 could be up for a dawn raid on sunday, catch the low tide.
Noo Noo Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 Interesting Suggestion. How about an evening and an early morning session? Now you're talking. Oh yes I'm more than happy with squidgy wet suits. Lets see what the forecast says. Hoping for some 12m weather eh 4 sessions in one weekend!! Rock and roll. Have to take the barbeque for lunch! Hang on there's one there already.
DjMoz Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 Wow check out the conditions for the weekend. Saturday evening looks like a great warmup, perfect 12m testing conditions pushing 20kn. Sunday looks like it is swinging in solidly all day from very early. Well powered small kite weather pushing 25+kn, although looks like it may be damp. So I am thinking easy Saturday evening session 5-8 with a small social, earlish night and then up at 6am to be back in the water for 7.30. Followed by a beach BBQ 11-1pm. Need to email HKA to confirm if we are going. Whos in? Oh, all three of you then! Snap I presume will miss it as I doubt he will be back until Sunday, Michelle I will contact. Excited already, lets hope the forecast stays the same.
Noo Noo Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 If its a double bubble weekend I'm in. Checking you forecast now DM. Jees go to bed will you. We'll never get you out of bed on Sunday if you dont rest up! No doubt we can discuss further at the BANDWAGON BOARD MEETING this evening. That's another late night. Just checked your forecast. Seems a little different but still shows some promise. Lunch time recheck.
Noo Noo Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 That forecast has gone nuts again now. Back in line with DM's estimate. WAHOOOO. I'm half tempted to give Crabtree a go this evening too. Haven't been on a landboard in ages. That new 12m keeps looking at me from the other side of my little shed. I can feel it staring at me in the dark, goading me, tempting me.
DjMoz Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Let me know NN if you are heading out. Wind should be a little better this evening but still fairly light. I have been playing with the Guru order, GFS for spots Weymouth to Brighton then just the extra for Hill Head and Hayling. 9k & 27K are showing Sunday as kicking off but GFS is not as optimistic. Roll on the weekend.
Noo Noo Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Righ I've rpelied to the Hayling event email. Said that 4 of us wil be going: Noo Noo Marko Djmoz Snap Spuds I wasn't sure if you could make it Sunday or stay long enough (should have asked last night) But there's burgers available Sunday lunch time. Me I hope to stay for the evening session too.
Spudley Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 Would like to go sunday, but think i need a lift and would have to be back before the evening as i have work.
Noo Noo Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Phone calls then I think to sort something out. That makes 5 of us possibly 6. oh yes Marko as it's an official event they're running competitions. if you want food you have to enter (for a laugh). We entered you in the BIG AIR comp.
mark o Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 As long as I do not have to land with a board I'll be fine
DjMoz Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 We will organise whos going on Saturday and make calls to finalise arrangements for Sunday. Otherwise looks like 3 of us on Saturday evening -unless Sal is coming Marko? If not I am happy to drive.
Noo Noo Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 That's cool cause we wont fit Pauls potentially new kite in otherwise. I expect the bag alone to be MOOOOSIVE
snap1 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Firstly, I am in Cornwall expecting some stunning weather... however were in side due to manic wind and rain lol. SPUD, What time do u need to be back for? As I may need to get back before the evening possibly. Hope you all have a great session tomorrow! Thanks in advance Colyn!
mark o Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Any plans for tomorrow (Sat)? Is it still an afternoon/evening session? Sunday looks manic, gusts of 35 knots according to Windguru... is the 10m going to be too big?
Spudley Posted July 5, 2008 Author Report Posted July 5, 2008 Hi paul, would want to be leaving early afternoon really as i have work the saturday and sunday night. the 2 O'clock high tide will mean being off the water by mid-day too.
snap1 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Home now thank the lord! That's not a problem to leave 2ish, will be nakered by then lol. Paul, you will have to send me your postcode as I may not find your house. What time are we heading off and are we all meeting at Daves? P
Noo Noo Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 Seriously good session Spuds. started off between 25 - 30 mph before finishing closer to 35mph I'd guess. I was pretty maxed out on my 9m with the current (new, Caution) bar set up. paul's up and going now. Impressed with the top end of DM's PL's. Just used the session to improve on a few things. No huge leaps forward. TRY HARDER NEXT TIME.
Spudley Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Posted July 7, 2008 Am off now for two days, anyone thinking of an evening sesh this week?
mark o Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 Spud, really nice session yesterday. Not very busy at all so lots of space to play in. I might well be up for an evening session Wonder, will the photo's from yesterday be released to the public for viewing pleasure?
Noo Noo Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 Have to see what little'un is up to. So I'm not sure. good news is he finishes school for the summer this week. That means I'm a lot more flexible and the Evening sessions are on. Watch out all. TIme for people to start asking why you're all red eyed and blurry at the office.
DjMoz Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 Wonder, will the photo's from yesterday be released to the public for viewing pleasure? Photos are apparently on old fashioned film so may not be seeing them soon. Unlikely to get out evenings this week. Well a nice session this week anyway. DM
