I made the mistake of sailing at Kirby on Sunday - was terrible - 4kts to 40kts every 2 minutes for the entire afternoon.... Not ideal really... Packed up & went home in disgust while it was still full tide!!

Looks like WK today! Mind you last Sundays efforts at WK were enough to put you of for life. Blew up a 14m kite, had two runs before it got to 35 knots, got blown off the water, rigged a 4.7, wind died, then it was so gusty!
Looks pretty good today on the cam, think I'll cruise over later if anybody fancies it?

Rhossy last Sunday - it was a bit breezy.
Gave it a miss today but will be at Rhossy on Saturday (or maybe Tywyn).

Yeah Stu -- I think there was quite a few kiters that came close to going into orbit!! About 2 mins before it went nuts I saw half a dozen people set out with 10-12m kites up.... Soon after that I was really struggling to hold down my 7.0m!! Sooo glad I didn't go back to change up!... Rest of the day sucked balls really badly!
Ken - Tywnyn - eh? never heard of it! I will probably mither you to see where u end up & may well come & join u!

Sailed last night till dark with Mike, was pretty good but gusty again. One moment underpowered on the 4.7 next it was pulling like a train!
Saturday looks pretty windy, anyone heading to the coast?

O.K. Rhossy it is. And I ain't going to be persuaded by anyone telling me that "yes it's a bit windy but I'm managing o.k. on my 4m (you know who you are!)" the 3.3m will be rigged from the start.
