one word mate

RAGLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you don't treat yourself to this little gem, you will regret it.

Out going tide incoming wind. every time you jump can make the ground up again in half a tack. Kite with locals though and listen to them. if they all bail off the water you should be right on their tail. They know when the wind is about to shut down. and its not the kind of place you want to get swept out the mouth at.

Look up Toni at GAG and a super nice guy called Ollie he kites almost every day!!!
