Might just be my frustration with working everytime we do seem to have a bit of wind but the start of this season seems very tame, compared to last year!! What i mean by that is i can only think of 2 days in the last month where we got some good (southerly) 30knots conditions (BLOODY WORKING SO MISSED OUT

), other than that seems very light! The next week doesnt look very promising either!! Does anyone else feel the same or is it just my frustration getting the better of me. Either way i hope coming in to the next few weeks it ramps up!!!

I sail and the last 2 weeks have been a struggle with wind. Our start today was postponed for an hour, then last week there was no racing altogether. We had 20 knots on one of the days though, and one of the twilight races I did (wednesday evening) was 20kts, so there is a bit here and there

I have to agree LD, it has been a terrible start to the season. We need a solid hot spell to warm the land so those seabreeze's can start to motor in. Until then i think there will be alot of on edge kiters out there.

Definitely agree. SB still too weak, wintery cold fronts were the only ones worth riding for me so far. So every time we went out kiting it felt like it's still the middle of winter
