MATMEET 8 - Dates Confirmed


UK MAT SURFERS
MATMEET 8
12/13 November, 2011


Hello there.

Thank you all for giving your availability for MM8 which is confirmed as above.

The plan is going to be to hold this in the Bournemouth/Kimmeridge area as discussed HERE.  Given the fickleness of the English Channel, we need a back-up plan, however, so Widemouth Bay (venue for MM6) will be Plan B.



So then, here's the plan:

Get these dates super-glued in your diaries NOW!

We check the forecast the on 7th Nov and call the venue then.

Use the comments section in this post, rather than email to confirm attendence and make arrangements to ensure we're all hooked up and singing from the same hymn sheet!

Try to arrange car shares in both directions so we can just go with whatever's needed.

Have a think about places to crash. I can accomodate some Cornish-folk as long as sleeping on blow-up matresses is OK.

There you go. We even have a business-b*ll*cks acronym... GWUTH!!!

We've done pretty well southside over the last few Autumn/Winters with decent long-period SW swells coming up from Biscay so it's reasonable to expect this to go off on the South Coast as planned.

ONWARD!!!!

Cheers

I'll keep an eye for kimbo, if there is plenty of swell with wind, I may just know of a place: ) http://www.wannasurf.com/spot/Europe/UK/South/durlston_point/photo/index.html?wdaction=lib.WDPagePhoto.show&file_id=69549#wanna-content

Also I'll see if I can squeeze any space at my place (between a 2 and 4 year old!)

Yeah I was chatting to a fella from Swanage about Durlstone. Blimp was saying it gets busy though.

true, there's another few spots I've been eyeing up over the years.

I'll have to get on with velo now for the meet

I've just managed to get hold of a workshop so will be making a hold load of goodies to sell : )

Some crazy banks here at the mo, just add swell

GRAYMAN said...

Are there spots for all winds? Also, is there an onshore spot? In that second question I mean like a Polzy or Chally; ie a spot which maintains a reasonable shape in onshores.

Cheers
