Redmoo Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 Sent a PM Anyways, will hopefully get to meet most people out on the sand sometime. Gonna get as many hints and tips as I can! Adam
nolan Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 Hiya Adam, hope to see you on the sand sometime soon. I'd just like to vouch for Gary's 10m 05, it's immaculate.

JohnDave Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 Anyone playing out at the weekend? NE winds, so Prestatyn would be good with a 10:45 high tide, and playable from 12ish? Or Fraisey (10.30 low tide) / Redcar (9.40 low tide) for some water fun too? John
Match Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 Up for a Sunday trip, can't do Saturday. East coast would be nice.
garykf Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Prestatyn sounds good to me John, Saturday?? Redcar sunday could be on the cards as well.
Redmoo Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Hiya Adam, hope to see you on the sand sometime soon. I'd just like to vouch for Gary's 10m 05, it's immaculate. Hopefully should be out this weekend, depending on what the wind is like Dont think I will be out on the board though, dont have insurance (I take it that is still required at Ainsdale?) Adam

Adam worth getting insurance IMO...shows you're being a responsible kiter;) ...& you do need it for Ainsdale + permit as per first post of this thread:) not sure about this evening now as it's forecasting rain & not a lot of wind & I've hurt my foot somehow:(
Hippy Tim Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 And while we're talking injuries, I don't reckon I'll be out this weekend after being "doored" on the curry mile yesterday. Very painful shoulder+neck (thankfully nothing broken). Hopefully it'll improve by the time my bpka renewal comes through...
nolan Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Ouch!! Heal quickly, mate. I reckon I could be tempted by a trip to Prestatyn on Saturday. Are you guys going?
Match Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 First summer evening session of the season. I'm up for that!!!! Did somebody say summer Only light wind, spot of rain and flippin' cold.
JohnDave Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Ouch Tim, heal up soon. Looking a bit easterlie Saturday, maybe worth the trip to the far side? John
Match Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Chatting to Si about Fleetwood sand bars. They are doable (its a word) this weekend, they are flat and hard, they are 2 miles out Fine for those with a buggy, excellent for boarders who buggy, big walk for boarders who don't. Tide and route knowledge is essential though as the bars get cut off by the incoming tide and you'll have to spend the night on the Wyre Lighthouse. Call in the shop if you are planning to go out there and get Alex's advice. Gonna go myself on Sunday - Matt
garykf Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 I'm tempted to BRS again, apparently the ban kicks in from Monday next week. If the wind is easterly then the Harlech end of the beach is the playground, last chance for a few months:eek:

Heal soon mate, sure there is enough strength in the arms seeing as how much flying you do without a harness:eek:
wurzel Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 checked with alex and the sand bars should be good later in the afternoon tomoz, plenty of room to play before hand though:)
Match Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 I'll be over at 4ish Si, are you doing it? Need an expedition leader
brassneck Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Can I just second the call to be carefull if you go out on the Fleetwood sand bars. I do a bit of sailing in the fleewood / Morcambe bay area and the speed of the tides is just scary /cut you off easy kinda thing. (Suppose you could always strap a board to the buggy and surf back in though!!) have fun:)
wurzel Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 fleetwood aint as scary as morcambe..let myself get chased in by the tide now and again..no prob as long as your not right out by wyre light house.
Bobby Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Not a lot of wind and a wee bit wet yesterday - played on other pepes foils and boards and just drank and nattered. Lots of 'Construction Traffic' signs and Tonka toys way out towards the second barrier - no ideas what those diggers are digging. Tempted to cut the cord and try Fleetwood this weekend after Si's glowing endorsement of the best fun to be had in a NEasterlie - (dude you were sleeping so peaceful like, didn't have the heart to rap on the motor to say tarraa.) Cross shores for the weekend if we stay and play - far out sandbanks are flat and hard, but bumps galore as you get closer in. Landcrab and stay home or fly up to Fleetwood for a dip in the rubber.

If the wind is easterly then the Harlech end of the beach is the playground, last chance for a few months:eek: Cobs and XC are both giving NE now, so that puts BRS off the list. So guess it's Prestatyn (no water), Fraisethorpe or Fleetwood, I'm tempted by Fleetwood TBH but depends where anyone else if off to. John

John .........or you could join us at lligwy for some water action ( and a bit of landboarding at low tide)
