Just out of curiosity Silviu, are you able to kite at Middle brighton Hi,
I just turn back from what was a fantastic session on the water. 
20 knots northerly got me going on the 12 and it was absolutely fantastic.
Yesterday was good also, just a little bit too gusty.
The water is freezing (11.5 deg), however I tested my "Radiator rashie”, and I was comfortable, it looks that it works pretty well.
Any way, it is good to be back on the water 
in a northerly or is it offshore? Today it had a bit of westerly in it so it would have been ok, but what about straight northerly? I could imagine it would be really gusty, as the wind would just about have to come through the city?
11.5 deg freezing? Freezing would be below 0. You're starting to sound like you come from somewhere North silviu! I'm just glad to have the water by myself.
Hi ellery,
Southerly and Northerly on MDB they are directly cross-shore. We definitelly prefer southerlies in summer (sea-breaze), as northerlies are very gusty. However, today between 10 and 12 it was un-expectedly 20 knots, smooth and the swell was about 1 m, just enough to be fun.
However, in winter everithing is "welcome" as long as we can be o the water.
11.5 deg, yes, it starts to be freezing for me, and yes I am comming from the very far North (I mean from Europe) where generally in winter temperatures are sub-zero, however, I am starting to become more "mature" with every year, and I really start to "appreciate" some "comfort". (hey, still cycling 45 km three times a week and going to the "12 hours mountain bikle enduro" in September).
So I am glad you had fun finally this weekend, yes it was great, I've been in the afternoon on the beach and I got some great action pictures of the mates on the water.
, if the crocks and snakes will let me alive
