nolipoli Posted March 6, 2017 Share Anyone here do any kite surfing? We have done a couple of lessons now and are totally hooked. It feels like a great way to get on the water close to home and when the wind is blowing (of course there has not been much in the last month or so. ????) niterider 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/155527-new-zealand-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/page/111/#findComment-3079239 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolipoli Posted March 6, 2017 Share On another note - I haven't touched my bike for a few weeks, and even then just used it to commute to work. I couldn't have imagined how different life would be here.

niterider Posted March 6, 2017 Share On another note - I haven't touched my bike for a few weeks, and even then just used it to commute to work. I couldn't have imagined how different life would be here. Similar story here. Since we've moved closer to the water most of my biking is along the footpath with my daughter on my commuter bike. Paddleboarding is my regular daily activity, and I'm doing windsurfing lessons on the weekends at our local yacht club. The club owns all the gear, so no need to buy my own until I'm at a decent level. nolipoli 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/155527-new-zealand-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/page/111/#findComment-3080011 Share on other sites More sharing options...

intern Posted March 7, 2017 Share I'm far to aware of what I am good at and what I am not good at to give kite surfing a go. Flippen dangerous sport that. I also won't ever attempt paragliding, hang gliding or any other sport where lack of skill can result in death!

niterider Posted March 7, 2017 Share Over 200mm rain in the last 16 hours. Luckily our place isn't low-lying, but loads of flood damage about this morning. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/90174663/flooding-slips-and-more-heavy-rain-slam-top-of-the-country Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/155527-new-zealand-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/page/111/#findComment-3081039 Share on other sites More sharing options...

niterider Posted March 7, 2017 Share I heard the siren go this morning in my area and I thought it was for a tsunami warning....don't know why it went though You might have heard the beachlands siren. Its a volunteer fire service, so the siren goes whenever there's an emergency. I'm sure there were several call-outs last night. hayleyearth 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/155527-new-zealand-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/page/111/#findComment-3081042 Share on other sites More sharing options...
