takoon uk: June 2010
http://takoonuk.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Friday, 18 June 2010. Wind over a weekend? Saturday, 5 June 2010. Burning 6'2" on our shores now :). The 6'2" burning has arrived, and from first impressions seems to be well worth the wait! I've not yet had a chance to put it through its paces in decent waves, but have had it out on the water, and it seems to be a fine piece of kit, even lighter than the 5'8", good upwind and a real pleasure to gybe. Looking forward to some easterly swells to give it a good test! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

takoon uk: where is everybody?
http://takoonuk.blogspot.com/2011/09/where-is-everybody.html
Wednesday, 14 September 2011. Been pretty quiet on here. I had to eventually take a day off to get a decent session in! Yesterday myself and a mate went down to littlehampton. Got there at midday and it was blowing 30 - 35mph! Sun was shining and just the two of us all day! That was just what the dr ordered! I needed that session to get the stoke going again! Here's hoping winter brings some wind other than mondays to fridays! Ps, still loving my furia's! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

takoon uk: July 2010

Tuesday, 13 July 2010. The kind that takes the whole week to recover from :). I got down there on Thursday evening and had a quiet beer or two with the locals on the sea front before calling it a night. Friday was a scorcher with very little wind forecast, so was spent soaking up some rays, and enjoying the other attractions such as the bmx. Demos Again when the evening came about, its was time to kick back and sink a few more cold ones whilst listening to the live bands in the neighboring marquee. When ...

Friday, 13 August 2010. BKSA Round 3: Barrow. Another month, another competition - this time over to the windy west coast Isle of Walney. This time we were greeted with loads of wind Thursday, Friday and Saturday, which allowed all the competitions to go though without a hitch. When Saturday came, it was the turn of the amateurs - starting off with the juniors, youths and girls, as the wind was forecast to pick up during the day. When I practice I always seek out the flattest most ideal spot to do my tri...

Sunday, 23 May 2010. BKSA Round 1: Redcar. The first leg of the BKSA tour returned to my local beach this weekend, and despite the poor forecast, decided to enter given that we've had some good sea breezes on recent sunny days. Unfortunately my optimism proved to be misplaced, and there wasn't enough consistent wind to run all the competitions, but they did manage to get the land events, the course racing and the women's pro freestyle all complete. Wednesday, 12 May 2010. Tuesday, 11 May 2010. If it does...

Monday, 19 September 2011. ANOTHER GREAT SESSION ON SATURDAY! 3 of us were off to Littlehampton. Had an awesome session, dont know whats going on down there but its as quiet at Littlehampton as this blog. We had the whole beach to ourselves again! Unfortunately my safety line snapped halway through my session (needs replacing). So had to swap my bars out again, (angelo, help please). Wednesday, 14 September 2011. Been pretty quiet on here. I had to eventually take a day off to get a decent session in!

takoon uk: 2nd at Blackpool and 2nd Overall!
http://takoonuk.blogspot.com/2010/10/2nd-at-blackpool-and-2nd-place-for-year.html
Wednesday, 20 October 2010. 2nd at Blackpool and 2nd Overall! Myself, Simon Light and Marcus Hawkins at the awards ceremony. Action shot from one of the heats (Photos courtesy of Craig Sawyer). Last weekend brought the final stage of the 2010 BKSA kitesurfing tour on the windy shores of Blackpool. I decided that I wouldn't risk the wind dropping off again in the finals, so opted to use my 11m Furia, rather than the 9m Pure which I used through the heats. We were all left to wonder about the results, as t...
