Any kitesurfers in East Dulwich?

[bubblensqueek]

I am (fairly) new to it and looking for spots in the U.K. to go to on windy weekends. Have so far tried Camber Sands and Greatstone. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi bubblensqueak! I took up kitesurfing last year and have mostly been to Camber as well as it's so quick to get to from south london. A little further afield but highly recommended is Weymouth Harbour and there's a few good places in West Sussex too.

Off for a little bank holiday sesh this weekend, can't wait :)

Thanks for the tip. We probably off to Camber as well this WE.Just checked the forecast - its early to say for sure but its looking good for the weekend! It'll be my first U.K. session of the season. Can't wait!!

Is kite surfers an innuendo? Am I totally out of touch with modern life?

[bubblensqueek]

Is Kite Surfing A big Kite and A Skateboard - if so Peckham Rye was kite surfed by a chap Yesterday to the excitement of my Stepson.

hey e-dealer - thats landboarding. Blackheath is full with landboarders on windy days. When kitesurfing you use water instead of land.

Hey guys,

I am an East Dulwich kitesurf addict!

Had a few go in Camber, Lancing and went to Poole last week and planing on going back again perhaps next week. Great spot for beginners and intermediate. Looking to discover new spots too and buddies to go kitting with!

hey Ronan! Great stuff! Since my post a few weeks ago we tried Lancing (love the spot although on the day we went I was overpowered on my 7 and had to sit on the beach and watch others having fun) and went to Greatstone the past weekend which I love in NE wind...We haven't tried Poole yet but probably will at some point. Sunday for the weekend is not looking bad, I think forecast is calling for S wind so I think it'll be Lancing for us...How about I PM you if we are going and we can take it from there?

Back to the forum after a long while...!

Landed this morning from two weeks kiting in the Caribbean...Dream spot!

Up for day trips down to the coast whenever weather gets warmer.
