I'll hopefully start posting on the site soon but it's f***ing freezing here at the moment. It's so cold that the pipe that supplies water to the house has frozen and we have no water

Hopefully it will warm up soon as my new 2010 KA Koncepts should be arriving soon and i want to get them on the water

Yeah you probably did. Sean did alot of racing back then. He still sails but only for fun but steve is getting him into GPS Speedsailing.

Steve has been doing well while competing in the past year and finished the recent Speed World Cup Europeans in 3rd place

Welcome aboard ISKs.
Hope you get some warm winds soon!
I left the uk as I wanted to find a better location to sail! It has made me soft, wore a full winter suit on 1/1/10 as the air temp was mid teens!

Cool Alastair,

I have been following Steve's results, very impressive indeed. Dungarven was the location of many raceboard events (held at the Gold Coast hotel), and many trips into town for onion rings, but never considered as a speed sailing location. We used go to Lady Island Lake for speed sailing back then.

Glad to hear that Sean is still sailing, last time I met him it was at East Ferry (Cork Harbour) and he was with Rory and Cully Allen, enjoying a pint or two at Dirty Murphs.

Ah, the good old days (makes me feel really really old to say that),

John

Hi John,

The speed strip in Dungarven is here

You can see the Sand Bar we speed sail along west of the Gold Coast Hotel. It's a great spot when it works. We still sail ladies island but not too often now. We are searching for a location in Ireland that is a bit more reliable and works more often. Hopefully we can find it soon

Still have my longboards, as does Steve and Sean but the longboard scene is none existent in Ireland now. It's the same with Formula and only Slalom racing is left here. I am hoping i can make it to the Uk for a couple of longboard events as i used to love racing my longboard back in the day
