worst winter for wind

Postby mick oliver on Sun Feb 06, 2011 6:25 pm

this has got to be the worst winter for wind since i started 5 years ago.windy during the week and nothing at weekends
i am even considering turning to the dark side and thinking of buying a landboard
but dont know if i can face crashing on the hard stuff
was wondering if landboarders get many injuries

It has been a complete shocker. Last year was pretty bad, this year is terrible.

I got some kit in early December and I still haven't had a chance to try it out. I'm waiting for a 15-25mph wind with some waves. You would think winter would be full of them!!!!

If we get another one of these, I'll be thinking of another hobby for winter. Normally I just go surfing during the windless spells but the waves have been really terrible for weeks as well. :(

yeh its been shocking.

as you all probably know ive got loads of spare time through the week and I havent been out much at all. and the times I have been out its been on my 15m mainly
around christmas time there was a spell off 6 weeks where I never got out at all.

fingers crossed for a windy summer
