| I cant get out till the afternoon. Will probably have to stay local  Its looking more W-NW than SW now, however I wouldnt be that suprised if it doesnt happen. All depends on the low track, all the models develop it off iceland on thurs lets see if t happens |

| Think I'm gonna stay local at aber! Also Kamil should be joining the crowd. Wind speed a bit scary though, I shall bring my 9m rrd with zipper on the back. so I can down power to aprox 7m kite if need be. However I'm 14.5 stone so mite need to retain power / size get up and going. What size kite everyone bringing if wind predictions are right? |

| 7 or 9 watch out for the wall though, make sure you walk well up away from it ! It hurts if you kite decides it's going to drag you up it ! |

| Alrite mate, glad it went well and was all good at rest. Aber was Windy...... Windy.......and windy, But a good day had by all. There was plenty of down sizing and sitting it out during the gusty periods! alunj getting some good air on his 5m. I myself didn't have the best day on the water thou, in-experience + big waves + high winds + small super quick kite to pull 14.5 stones= plenty of salt soup drinking! I'm no longer scared of wipe outs. on the down stroke had plenty if not to much power, but not enough power for my weight when parked! However it was still nice to be out with the lads. I would say on average 10 sails in the air at most. |
