Cheers, I'll phone Kev.
Which are the kites to avoid with the bladder problems or were you just unlucky? Also which board have you got for sale?
Cheers

Cheers for that, I popped into Surfstore at Bishopton on the way back from a training course at Teeside Airport yesterday to get an idea of what they stock. I'm intrigued about your bladder problems? I thought it was just me and Gary that had those? :lol: Whats the problem, is it getting replacement...

Kite Surfing

I'm thinking about getting into kite surfing as a high wind alternative to parawaiting and would like an idea of how much kit costs and what is needed to get started? Also would I need much tuition or is it possible to learn from books etc?

I would urge anyone interested in this course to do it. It looks an ideal course for outdoor enthusiasts, much more appropriate than the normal first aid at work course.
Go on, do it, you never know when you you will need it.
This is such an important thing to do and so easy and enjoyable.

I have cancelled the table of 20 at Prima on the 16th. I'm not sure if I'm getting charged £10 per head yet, hopefully not.
Oh, merry Christmas.

Would the 9th be any better for anyone? I'm not saying we can get in anywhere at this late hour but I'm prepared to give it a go if there's interest. There doesn't seem to be many available for the 16th.
I don't mind doing the running around guys but haway, throw a dog a bone here?

Woah! Theres nothing wrong with sitting on the hill! It's how you stay safe sometimes.
I sat on the hill in Italy last week and watched 1 a day land in the trees! I bet they wish they had done the same.

Hi Andrew, have you tried those small disposable hand warmers? Activated charcoal, slipped inside your gloves they make a difference and last ages.
Good to hear you're coming back too.
Just back from Italy myself, went to Bassano for a week, great weather, flew every day.
