RE: [southdorsetkitesurfing] Sunday sesh with beers Sat night?


I agree with Pyro Tim... I'll be at shore rd on Sunday so might see some folks there.  Easterlies are fab as you hit the waves with your left foot forward - much easier for trying backloops and stuff.  Or is it just me that struggles to do much going the other way?!

Why do you kite in the harbour? It should only be used by beginners. If you can go upwind, and stay up wind, you should not use the harbour, unless it's a NW. As it's E on Sunday, it will be offshore in the harbour, and a no go zone, even for learners. Off the front at Sandbanks would work, but not the harbour.
 
The harbour seems to be a nice place, with shallow and flat water, but the wind is gusty, there is a road that goes around, and it's full of learners. It's ideal to learn how to go upwind, and maybe, if it's quiet, a place to learn new tricks, but should not be a priority site. The combination of lot's of learners, a road, and gusty conditions make it at best a sketchy spot, if not dangerous. The harbour only realy works in NW, although it can be used for anything with W in it. 9 times out of 10 you'll have more room, and more fun off the front.
 
There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.
