Guy W Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 ok then, from september you could try the new EKS flying site just outside Kempsey. absolutely huge area of perfect grass. not sure what the deal is yet but is going to be open most weekends on a membership basis. we fly at perdiswell leisure centre, wind is never great but if you're really stuck for a place then its worth a visit. just make sure you head down the field away from the play area with all the kids. its a cleaner wind down the far end too.

Tjah1087 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Was down there yesterday for a nice session! Was very gusty but nicely strong wind. Off to Swansea for a few days now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardrider381 Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Im back from San Diego and checking the forecast for a dry windy day...dont seem to able to see one coming up this week! Maybe thurs/fri might be good for an hour or two at perdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjah1087 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Just got back from a week of nuclear winds at Llangennith in south wales! Destroyed my left knee, it is mostly purple with a large green scab on the knee. Didn't stop me kiting for another three days though! Met some dude who was sponsored by trampa and the womens kitesurf champion so I'm told. Got some absolutely huge jumps in, and tweaked many a grab, but my mate nailed 360s and I didn't (that's what caused the knee injury) Now I'm moving away so I won't be at Perdi much any more I'm afraid, hope to catch you all again some time...

boardrider381 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Ah that's a shame you're moving away Tim, we always go to Llangennith, do you camp by the beach at hill end? In fact I am going on Friday for 4 days, might go to perdi before hand this week at forcast is sweeet, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve c Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 sorry to hear you are moving away tim ok so how many of us are still flying at worcester cant be many left now so if you fly at worcester show your self Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy W Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I guess you're off to uni soon then Tim, was it Cambridge you are going to? have a wicked tim and keep up the kiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjah1087 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I defo intend to keep up the kiting! May well be down Perdi as it's a better spot than Bidford (I didn't move too far away) but a fair bit longer drive. I stay in Swansea, my mate has a house there (he's there at Uni), its cheaper and comfier than the tent option Yep Cambridge it is in 5.5 weeks time!

boardrider381 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Perdi was good this afty, 15-25mph northerly but at times it seemed very windy, a fearless person could have got some amazing air today, i played it safe Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve c Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 must of just missed you tim when we got there the wind was real bad gusting mad guy and me took the safer rought to lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjah1087 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Lol, it was insanely gusty at bidford, all our foils reduced to binbags very quickly. Saw some nice jumps done with a 7m Haka though. Will have to make it to Perdi again as Bidford just doesn't cut it for boarding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJoyce Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Yer, it was actually the worst kiting I've ever experienced... Rages are not meant to fly over your head, pull backwards, turn around, then power back up to the zenith with full power. Its. Just. Wrong. Gusty wind is worse than no wind - it gives you false hope. I agree on the bidford front size-wise too, I don't like planting into goalposts... Tim, when are we going back to swansea? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live there too and Bidford is my nearest half decent flying site as I work over the river at Astwood Design, Redditch is ****e for flying, **** wind everywhere and you get hassled by chavs all the time. Worcester is alot better, I just can't be bothered with the journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardrider381 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Had a good weekend camping at Hill End in the Gower, wind was cross all the time for Llangenith beach but we still made the most it, even ventured into the sea with my phantom for a bit of body dragging in the waves, I wished I had a kitesurf board, deffiniatly going to buy one now!
