PaulLaurie Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 But did you see the crowd for Rolf Harris!!! . Yeah we did, was at the Goan fish curry place to the right of the stage, went to the bar, watched from there then spent 40 minutes trying to get out of the Jazz field. His set was great
QUOTH Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Back from holiday, shame I missed the BBQ, you guys had any good days with the warm weather? I may be hitting the beach tomorrow morning. Anyone in warrington or liverpool is welcome to a lift. And I still don't drive which means I'm always looking for lifts. See y'all soon. J
QUOTH Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 Had a cracking day yesterday evening, pretty much had the beach to myself. Anyone know what wind speed it was in the evening? I can't remember the name of the landboarder who helped me, his smallest kite was a 15m guarilla 2 EDIT: talked to guy who has my KK's, will get sorted out soon Argh, so sore...
QUOTH Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 I'm considering hitting the beach sunday morning, but the wind looks a bit strong, and as it's cross on and a little over the dunes so will be gusty as well. If the prediction drops by a few mph i will be going. High tide is at 3pm 26mph-30mph. All I've got is my 13m venom 2. What do you guys think. I'm free the rest of teh week, just can't get a lift. EDIT: may go in the afternoon as the wind seems to drop off. at least according to the gusts on the second forecast on windguru... No posts on here for a bit, have some people not made it over with the switch?
jtshort42 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 Hi guys, I have not been on the landboard at Ainsdale for a while but went down the beach today to have a look. I flew a few kites and became hooked once again. The question I have is, my 16 year old daughter who can fly two line kites would like to take up kitesurfing, she has no experience on water so how and possibly who can I contact to get her started. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jeff

aworm Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Chris at westcoastkiteboarding.co.uk can teach her at Ainsdale, unlike any of the above if that's where you want to go.
QUOTH Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Copied and saved, as I'll want to try myself one day. If the person dosen't have a wetsuit, is that a problem? Would they have to try and borrow one for a day or two, or is there somewhere near where they could rent? Borrowing will be an issue for kids, larger riders or women. I assume the instructor will generally supply the board and kite?
jtshort42 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Thanks for the advice. I will try and make a few contacts and probably take a few trips to Ainsdale as we only live a few miles away.
dj-jt Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 tom at kite it right is a good teacher he teaches up at blackpool which is where i learnt from him he made me progress quite quickly through the learning stages of starting out

QUOTH Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 There really should be a sticky thread on here, with all schools. And shops....
SandMonster Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Posted July 16, 2009 There was once... http://forum.kitecrowd.com/showthread.php?t=79489 Admin unstickied it for some unknown reason
andycapandy Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Just thought would say a quick hello. Been trying to kite for around 1 year now, Can now get up on my landboard so have progressed, Just very slowly Fed up of messing around so realy going to get stuck into this and get it mastered for good. Just sorting out to become a BKSA member so i can come down to Aindale so hoping to get down soon. I,m a VW T5 owner so have met Sandmonster before at local van meet. Looking forward to vansurf at blackrock sands too Hope to meet some new faces down at ainsdale soon. Cheers (and good site by the way), Andy
QUOTH Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Then I'd suggest trying an ARC Good luck with whatever you fly. Contact information for Jill [Gill] in first post, and if you just want to come down and say "hi" you don't need a permit to static fly. Or gossip. And hopefully people will start posting on here when they are going down, like the good old days. Sadly I can't get a lift this week.

QUOTH Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 I'm unsure what this is, could someone post a link, if there is one?
