DEMO DAYS - all kiters welcome
Update - posted Thu 28th Sep
So sadly the wind this Saturday is not looking quite as great as we had hoped. It does drop quite a lot when the tide is at the highest point, not very helpful. But.... Not we're still going to have a good day!
From 11am Beach clean, organised with many thanks to Ian Clease. We're very please to have some great company here: Wayne Dixon who is walking along the whole coastline with is dog (lucky dog that is!) to clean up the beaches and raise awareness, and Charlie Head, who SUP boarded the same coastline approx this time last year to raise awareness for mental health charities and picking up litter along the way too.

The demo kit itself will mostly be fairly local - we're happy to see Phil with #Spleene, #KSP and #Ten kit, the Blast team with #Epic, #Fluid and #PeterLynn, Tom with #Ozone and #Flysurfer and our friends from #UFOpowerkites, hopefully also a visit from Mike with kit from #Shinn and #Airush and there will also be some #Fanatic SUP boards to keep us entertained if the wind really lets us down.
The BBQ... Well we'll bin that idea, no fun in the rain. There's always local pubs if people are hungry of course! Play it by ear.
Hope to see you all on Saturday!

DEMO DAYS! - All kiters welcome
Last year this was a great weekend, so we're doing it again - If you're thinking about buying kit for the new season then now is your chance to come and see/try some kit and decide what you like.
Put in your agenda: Saturday the 30th September. High tide is at 3pm and neap, so we should be able to get on the water between noon and 6pm roughly. BBQ afterwards if people are interested; club members just us know if you'd like to eat and any allergies etc, non-club members join in but you'll have to let us know for shopping and chip in (£10) or bring your own.
We have contacted a lot of kite brands and invited them to come down. We suggest a 20mph minimum wind cut-off (incl seabreeze so say 15mph prediction on a warm/sunny enough day), so the gear can be tested in decent conditions.
Some brands will offer discounts on their kit too!
Contacted;
Airush, Best, Blade, Cabrinha, Core, Crazyfly, Epic, Flysurfer, F-One, HQ, KSP, Liquid Force, Naish, Nobile, North, Ocean Rodeo, Ozone, Peter Lynn, Ride Engine, RRD, Shinn, Slingshot, Spleene, Switch, Ten, Wainman.
We'll also our local shop UFO powerkites here, and some windsurfing and SUP kit from Fanatic. As Fanatic will only send kit down, no rep, they have asked us for the windsurfing kit to be display only, some of the SUP kit can be demo-ed too.
Quite a few of these brands may not have a UK rep or demo kit available, so we do not expect them all to be there, but hoping many will, the more the merrier!
We will update this website and Facebook as more brands confirm, and add information on their new kit and deals too.
If you have details of a UK rep for a brand that you would like to see here and is not already confirmed then please contact us via our contact form or email, thanks :-)
