Great to meet you Carl, Martin, Mrmawalker and the rest of the gang.

 

Looks like this beach is becoming quite popular, my own fault for telling Matt about it!

 

I cant do the 20th because of work commitments, I've had quite a few good sessions on this beach though over the summer so I am not too disapointed

 

Steve.

 

Yeah nice to meet you too Steve....

best to go for weekend just incase you get good wind on the day your not there

[faceman]

I know it's a way off yet, and things may change but have you seen the forecast for sunday/monday, pure onshore winds, 6-9 on sunday and 9-14 on the monday, I am sooooooooo having monday off work, haven't had a decent onshore to play with since last year, won't be missing this one!!!

The tide table looks good for skeg/mabo as well!

 

(you watch, the wind will swing round or become a lot lighter and I'll be wishing again!!)

Hi House, saw a bunch of C-quads on the forsale section and thought of you:

You naughty boys have been off enjoying yourselves too much - you should have known it would catch up with you in the end:p

 

I think its time Matt found himself a nice young lady to settle down with - why the hell should he escape ?

I'm fine thanks, i read you took the fire bee for a spin - worth the dough?

 

I've not flown a c-quad but saw one flying when i first started out. It made the most odd noise!?

ive found a woman anyway simon:D, she lives near the secret beach i can have my cake and eat it so to say;)

[windjammer1599968715]

@ simon, you shud come to this vast expance of hard sand one weekend, noticed there was something missing that weekend carl and martin was there it was you and your freindly smile, think a road trip is in order simon before the campsite shuts at the end of october

[HOUSE]

I'd certainly like to check out the secret beach Matt - looks superb in the pics. I'll keep an eye out for the forecasts when everyone is going and see if I can get over. In the meantime am hoping there could be some decent easterlies over the next few days. Work has gone extremely quiet so am hoping I could get away early some days if the weather is right.

 

Trust you to land on your feet and find a woman to fit in with your kiting habit:p ........ beware though - all may not be what it seems:rolleyes:

 

Atavar - the firebee is great - I will have to put some adjuster lines onto the brakes as it would only fly with the lines hooked right up to knots at the handles and at the utmost end of the bridles using my bullet handles/lines. Must send an e-mail to Mannfred - as you said he was great to deal with and posted the kite first class to arrive in next to no time.

It will be interesting to try it in a really strong easterly and see how much pull it will generate, but it's proved a good way of testing gusty westerlies to see how strong they are as well. I'm now waiting for a 2m brooza to arrive to fill in the gap to the bullet:D

 

Carl - I haven't tried the C-quad long enough to make any recommendations but it has some serious grunt per square metre so I'm looking to test it out carefully - I've seen one of the Lincoln knobs on strings guys flying these and getting lofted far too high for my likin'

 

Any joy with a small bow or arc yet?

[popeyethewelder]

 

beware though - all may not be what it seems:rolleyes:

I think he has the hots for Simon:p
