Down at Calshot with Nomadic Kitesurf for the summer & autumn.

nomadic

Well the UK won out this summer and we’ve landed down at Calshot on the south coast. The conditions down here are fantastic for learning, with knee deep to waist deep water at low and mid tides with the added bonus that at high tide it is perfect for a spot of kite hydrofoiling.

We’re working with Paul @ Nomadic Kitesurf

August has seen us teaching nearly daily and the students have been progressing really nicely so far.

The shop 24-7 Boardsports  is on site at the beach for any toys that you might need to buy  after your lessons.

If you’re going to head down get in touch with Cathy or myself or through Paul’s Nomadic website.

Summer Kiting

So the summer is here and we’ve been spending it in the UK so far. We’ve just got back from a couple of weeks travelling around the West coast of Wales, check out our write up here.

      Cow comes knocking & sets the Oranguvan Rocking 

“Our last morning on the Gower tucked away in a little spot where we possibly shouldn’t have been, I was awoken to a rocking van.. “Cathy is that you?” I asked… “No!” came the reply. With fear that I might find an angry landowner clamping the van we opened the curtains to find a very big black cow using the Oranguvan as a personal scratching post. Cathy’s farm experience quickly sent them packing and us too.”

Kite Hydrofoil – Foilboarding

Jonny has also been loving his Kite Hydrofoil and has written a little piece to explain more about this growing style of kiting. If you’re intrigued and want to know more about the magic carpet ride of hydrofoiling / foilboarding in those summer breezes find out more here.
