Surf Diary

This last week has seen some welcome changes to the shop and to the weather.

The store has been getting super busy with the warm weather and the introduction of some new brands has created a lot of interest, Reef and Bone Idol clothing have been going down a storm and are a great add on to the stores existing brands.

The wind finally changed direction to south east, not the best direction but at least folks could at last get out on the water and blast away the frustration of the past few weeks northerly winds. With the change in the wind the kite school is picking up pace with students booking up on the different courses Jason our Kite instructor has on offer. Those lucky enough to have had a lesson the last few days have had a great time and are progressing fast.

Ok so it’s been over a week since the last post and a lot has changed in this time.

Easter weekend has come and gone and with it came a change in the weather, the temperature has at last got warmer with it hitting 18C + most days, all we need now is the sea breeze kicking in a bit more and life will be almost perfect.

The store is under going a make over and Sam has been working super hard moving the snowboard kit and setting all the new summer gear up. The shop is now looking fresh with new stock from all the top brands.

Today saw the first sea breeze of the season, with south coast temperature rising to 20c it was a glimpse of what is to come in the next few months, with after work sessions and the Littlehampton legendry sea breeze kicking in it’s all looking good.

The Team are getting super excited about this weekend’s round one of the BKSA championships. The nerves are kicking in with the Airhead Junior squad but these young riders have what it takes, keep an eye out for Oli and Dan Sweeney along with Toby Raw who has built himself up to make even the pro’s worry. Pete Shiplee and Annalisa Dovey will also be there giving their all in the competition. Watch this space for news from the Airhead Kitesurf Team over the coming weekend…………….The Airhead will be back

At last we have put the clocks forward for British Summer Time and we had fantastic sunshine all day if the weather stays like this we will all soon be having evening sessions at Littlehampton beach, it is 7.45 pm and we are only just losing the light.

Today we had a long chat with the guy’s from Maxtrack about the new MBS range that will be in the UK by mid April all going to plan, the range has got stronger for 2007 with the introduction of new tyres and a new truck, both of these will retro fit to most boards. We are looking forward to getting these babies in.

OK well nothing much happened today, the wind is still off shore and it’s not that warm so it was time for a sort out at the ranch, boring but productive..

News from the team..
The Airhead team will be heading down to Watergate Bay, Cornwall for the first round of the BKSA Kitesurf Championships on 30th March – 1st April and they are buzzing round the shop making sure they have the kit they need, if you are heading down to the comp look for the Airhead banner and make sure you come over and say high to the guys and girls on the squad. Hopefully if all goes to plan we will be getting feed back form the team on how they think the comp is going to put up on the blog so make sure you come back for that.

Anyway nothing much else to report so I will hopefully have more to tell you soon …… good wind and good riding captain Airhead
