Thats the reason I got into kiteing, for a bit of peace and quiet from Mrs Foz.

perhaps you like peace and quiet from mrs foz but some people maybe like doing things together as a family.

Erm I play, talk and dream kites and am a wife! Like you we kite as a family. Why don't you give it a go, I'd be happy to spend some time with you if you want to try one of my luverly pink stings, cmon mrsdreamwarrior

Kiting needs more girls!
Mike gotta say the RK meet at Ainsdale seems like an eternity ago! Look forward to catching up with you again, but only if we can kitesurf, land kiting hurts the old knees too much now!

I think it was an eternity ago - well at least 18 months. Was that the weekend I met you guys on the beach?
I had just come from Wheelquick having paid the deposit for my Bongo and that was in early June 2007!!

Mike if I remember rightly it was April 2007 because we hadn't had our bongo long! And it was so cold at the campsite we sent Ali and Mark to get wood for the fire basket
Getting the permit for Ainsdale is really easy you can do it all by phone and e-mail. Gill who works at the centre is very helpful indeed. That's how I've done mine as I live 5 hours from Ainsdale no way I'm making that trip to pick up a permit or not to get a permit and have a wasted journey

You couldn't possibly let us know who to e-mail could you. I live no where near Ainsdale but i was tempted to give it a try over crimbo when visiting family up that way. Was put off by the permit thing myself.

Come to the water snowy you know you want too! A few waves add a bit more excitement into your kiting experience
