Hey i have some artificial grass leftover from doing my back garden (like longer astro turf) might work well as a covering for that?

Then here at Vrouenpolder we had good conditions Fri then has been big High Presure 30deg and light offshore winds until tonight and tomorrow got northerlies 15 knots plus all day with the lagoons full so gonna kill it all day :D

remember dan, make sure you try some frontrolls and get them nailed. it will be the same as when you did your first backroll , you'll be thinking "why didnt I try them sooner". If you cant do them by the time you get back youll be banned off the winch :wink:

cheers cezar for bringing the winch down, much better than having a light wind kite. This club idea sounds like a good way to get you some money back for the use on the winch. I think your mate has the patients of a saint to sit there all day and control it. He deserves a crate of beers :D

Cheers Cezar :-) well worth a trip down to the Costa-Del-Chemworks - complete with complementary beer :-)
My shoulders are a little sore with the few false starts I had - Boards without fins definitely work better in the shalow starts.
With a lack of decent wind for ages I was worried about my wetsuit tan - I look like a lobster now - think i should have used some suntan cream!

Definitely a good 'no-wind' substitute
Cheers man
