So The Pier stuff is still doing the rounds and Kitesurfing will be on mainstream T.V tonight at 8p.m – Channel Five. Mentorn Media came down to film World’s Greatest Daredevils a few months back at my parents place and over in Brighton. I do not consider myself a daredevil so its nice they included me in the show. Conditions on this day were even more challenging then the Pier day, onshore 35/40mph. It took me about 20 minutes to get out from the shore-break which was breaking halfway (10m) up my lines. I think this show is certainly worth the watch just to see the sea state to be honest. Thanks to Lance at Kitedoc for the quick job on my harness before the session after I shut it in the door! It’s on Demand Five online as well once its played on TV.

Today I’ve been at Herne Bay Junior School in Kent. The year 3′s had been looking at the Weather all term so the school asked me if I could come in and talk about why the Weather is so important to me. We looked at the differences between the Westerly winds and the Northerly winds and also how it feels to go kitesurfing, staying healthy and the importance of harnessing Wind Energy. The day ended with a small demo from me, luck would have it I received all my new Fuel’s last week and wow did I get some banging colour schemes! Kids like colourful things so they the kites went down great. It’s always nice to head over to Kent and see the guys at Boardworx and especially my friend Lance from Kitedoc.

Yes its that time of year again where we can actually say we get waves in Worthing. Where there is wind and waves there is also rain but this has its positives…the pansy summer brigade are now off the water leaving the beaches uncrowded but bleak at times. A new wetsuit goes a long way this time of year, it may well be the difference of bothering in the first place. Grey throughout the day and dark at 4p.m this is what the UK kitesurfing scene is really about….

Great trip in the Gorge the other week, what a super place. Most normal people would expect gusty winds and crap chop out. In fact there are waves in the middle of the river where the current rips out towards the Pacific.
