Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Well, that was a quick windsurf session. Quick as in high speed, and quick as in short-lived too. With 40+ knot offshore winds, choppy waters and speeds over the water in excess of 30 knots there was just too much potential for injury. Morgan is already out of action thanks to two broken toes, I...
With wind forecast last weekend I thought I’d message Steve and invite him down for a sunny, summer windsurf session, just like the old days! Steve used to come here almost every weekend to windsurf and certainly came when there was some decent wind forecast. I don’t think he’s been windsurfing here for about 4...
Just a few quick clips from my windsurf session today as my GoPro was a little misted up, it wasn’t quite set up properly and I can’t be bothered to go through hours of footage looking for the best bits! It was a top notch windsurf session though so hopefully you’ll get the gist from...
After a nice day out for our 15th wedding anniversary I just had to get out on the sea… Well, I did spend the morning of our wedding windsurfing so why change a habit of a lifetime! The sun was shining there was a lovely sea breeze, the sea was shades of turquoise and green...
The weather wasn’t great last week. There was quite a bit of rain most days as far as I remember and it was chilly too. The sun did come out now and then so I managed a windsurf in the sunshine on Saturday afternoon despite the fact that the morning was pretty wet. Riding in...
A lovely days windsurfing was had on Saturday afternoon. I waited until he sun came out and that was the right choice. Ended up nicely powered with a 5m sail and big 104 ltr board for some flat out blasts up and down the beach, I even sailed all the way down to Borth at...
That turned out to be a good day. After missing out on some fun yesterday as I was busy with work and other appointments I made up for it today. I was toying with the idea of continuing my Coast Path run but the weather didn’t look like much fun for most of the day...
After some catastrophic transport failure at the weekend it was time to splash out on a new vehicle to get my windsurfing kit to the beach. And look what a beauty I got! It’s ‘Lamborghini Yellow’ for a start. Handling should be great thanks to the dual-density moulded grips and with 110ltr capacity it should...
Things were looking good for the weekend with plenty of wind forecast. I was hoping to get out windsurfing as well as get some swim, bike and run training in. As usual I was up early and the wind was indeed howling. It was also pouring with rain and didn’t look exactly ‘nice’ out there...
After a nice surf ski paddle in the morning it was back home for pancakes and to see off the horde of 14 year old boys that had been sleeping over for Morgan’s Birthday. There was plenty of pizza leftover from their party and of course sweets and cakes so that had to be finished...
