A weekend of mixed conditions!  Saturday morning was epic for flying the skies at Devils Dyke and Sunday i pulled together a Progressive bodydragging lesson on the coast in between the lulls. Though i have to say i’ve never had a 1.5m powerkite feel quite so powered up on Sunday afternoon when a sqawl pushed [...]

You know when its windy when the trees are edging towards the 45 degree mark as you drive to the Lancing beach. And then there’s that thought going through your head ‘some days are just not for teaching kitesurfing?’ Today was one of those, but that did meant it was an open playground for those [...]

The weather was so rubbish for the majority of today we resorted to wind watching and admiring Jude attempting to fit into a seat harness while wearing a mini skirt. Interesting combination?! As you can see we were all highly amused! so lustig! stava

This weekend is Shoreham’s anual Airshow. Traffic will be heavy and all kiting areas within the 3 mile radius will be out of Bounds. Forecast is looking good so please go and discover another playground to fly in if you fancy a kitesurfing sesh! Stay Cool! stava

Today was light onshore SW … but hey where there is a will there is a way! Resorted to riding the rescue board to get wet, lots of fun! Everyone wished to have a go … Safety officer checking the standards down the beach … Mr Frazer doing something Italian with his lines … ? [...]

The great thing about teaching a paraglider is they already know how to fly. Today i taught a Jess, a little star from the hill. Won’t be long before she’s walking on water with those flying skills. All i could hear was … i’m hooked stav thats it! I’m Hooked! Wind dropped and backed to [...]

So rewarding to have one of those sessions which goes totally to plan. Working with the elements means flexibility is the only way to make it work, but today at Lancing was clock work. Light offshore breeze at 10am backing to sea breeze and building to a solid 24 knots through the bulk of the [...]

Being blessed with such a frequent pattern of south westerly winds we’ve had no reason to travel to Kent ‘Great Stone’ for over a month and a half now, until a window of North East winds sat over the channel this weekend.  What know one told us was ‘Bring your Wellies!’ Heavy duty Sylt has [...]

Winds have reverted to being offshore for the last few days but this hasn’t stopped BN1 from entertaining our first oversea’s students from Italy with a Land flying skills lesson. It was fun! Lots of hand signals when challenged with the language barrier … though Dario has very much an English sense of humour! Nice [...]
