Saturday - Lords / Hare n'Hounds?
Out and about tomorrow, up to Lords early then, just maybe back to the Hare and Hounds to see the Bushman Bros.

Not too much wind wise this this weekend, (most of the wind having blown through the early hours see stats) might be worth checking in from Noon onwards to see what's happening, just in case you know what happens, then Sunday back to NE'lys.

Saturday Tide - Low 17:12 High 11:21 Height 5.5

Scrub mountain board left down the green at Goring, if found etc contact Niall 07915533781

Lost Kite Bar -  North 5 line kite bar at Shoreham (by the Church) on Monday afternoon, either on the beach or by the road. Contact Mark 07773 371061 reward offered!

Kit for Sale have been uploading some ads (May 19th) as the season starts to get under way for many. See here, I am suggesting a donation to the WeatherCam fund if advertising, certainly better than Ebay Fees!

Sunday - Another Good Afternoon :)



Bruno Sroka Kitesurf Champion is going to kitesurf across the 100 nautical miles of English Channel and attempt to beat the world record of 5 hours 20 minutes. To mark the occasion of Kitesurfing’s inclusion as an official Olympic sport in the Rio 2016 Games – Sroka will promote the sport doing what he does best – Undertaking a Serious Sporting Challenge! For more detail click here


 

Another Hard Day now  has its own FaceBook page for the start of the season - as we're probably the most popular Live Weather Forecasting Site for Wind & Kite Surfers using the stretch of the UK South Coast, by setting up a FaceBook page you can link up with other like minded people, add comments, ask questions and see what others are up to. If you're not sure on where and what time to launch due to tides and / or wind direction hopefully someone will be able to answer etc etc

Holy S**T - Kitesurfing to replace windsurfing at the 2016 Olympics ! - see here 

I better get some training in then :)

Mind you "Olympic Windsurfing" was so far removed from what you'd see ordinary sailors doing along our stretch of the coast in terms of kit etc that I did a quick "google" and that suggests that "Olympic Kiting" may well be more of the same bollox, but what do I know (though boards like that will not work in the shallows at low tide), if you have your own point of view then post that on the new Another Hard Day FaceBook page.

If you've been off the water a while, and as we have no wind, why not get fit for the coming season by doing some Bikram Yoga, I now swear by it. And you don't have to be super fit or have an Adonis type body, you get ALL types of people trying it out - click here to see some testimonials.
