THIS IS THE ONE WE HAVE WAITED FOR!!



















 This is the one.. this IS the Weekend we have waited for.. it's the one where THE CLOCKS GO FORWARD and we get our evenings back! That has to be the best news I could give anyone.. so I think I will leave it there before I ruin it by mentioning the weather forecast. This also means that we return to Summer Opening Hours on a Sunday, so it is 10am - 4.00pm from this Sunday the 25th. It's an ALL good news weekend...

 
 
Couple of Kit mentions.. the Neil Pryde Flight Alloy Foils arrived today.. one for a customer and one for stock. This is our first real look at this Economy Classed package and I have to say the engineering is very good. The Ailerons fitted perfectly to the fuselage and were also perfectly aligned horizontally, and it went together without any hitch whatsoever. The tail Aileron adjustment is a little suspect 'engineering wise' as you use a packing washer to adjust for ease of use or better speed but I guess it works and as this foil retails at only £699.00 (carry bag is an extra at £49.95) you have to expect something to be 'not quite right'. The one thing to be aware of is that the Tuttle fitting head bolts are UNC thread, not the metric as used by all fin manufacturers, so be careful if you buy one of these foils.. do not try 'winding in' the original board fin screws! So, a very reasonable product at a very reasonable price.. 1 in stock!
 
 
There's a rare opportunity possibly about to come someone's way.. an HDD Witchcraft board belonging to Nic Shinner 'maybe' on the market in the next couple of days (just waiting for Witchcraft to supply a little pricing info). The board is a 2015 Custom and is in the super tough HDD construction which they reckon is 'The Best'. It is 99lt 232 x 63 and is in very good condition (one scratch on the deck which happened when he took it off his board rack and the board aboves fin caught it). 
The board is in the shop if anyone would like to take a look and if you would like to know the price then drop us a line and we will update you as soon as we know!
 
So to the best weekend of the years weather..  it's not great to be honest.
The Winds on Saturday are a light 9kts and moving from a South to Sou' east direction as the day goes on. Rain in the early morning and cloudy after that.
Sunday it swings to the North and although a sunnier day than Saturday.. it's still not looking that exciting except for being light until gone 7pm!! 
Tides are High at 15.51hrs on a 5.3m Saturday and Sunday it's 17.12hrs on a 5.0m.
Hard to believe that we are just a week away from Easter Weekend.. still feels COLD for the time of year. 
Hey ho.. Have a good one whatever you get up to!
