Dude - that's heaven! You're gonna miss that if you end up over here - that's for sure. There's nothing like that to my knowledge in Alberta. Maybe a farmer's field but no mile long stretch of sand.

Apparently I need to move to Wales, or maybe just Seaside Or.

I knew I should not have watched that video....

Ok, so I'm thinking big beach, lots of hard packed but it can't be that good...winds got to be sideshore.....then I see you launch your kite....straight onshore...freakin a....I don't think it gets much better than that...you are a lucky man!

BTW, can't make out the kite...what is it?

Hail to the almighty Spear!

Its a Rhombus Amun race kite. Pembrey is about 7 miles and the beach next to it is Pendine. Its 8 miles and they used to do the old land speed records on it

Both are fantastic beaches ... so long, smooth, flat and HARD. I did 80 miles in one session couple of weekends ago, and turned less than 25 times the whole afternoon ... I wasn't using the whole length of the beach either.

The beach is so hard a friend set a kiteboard speed of over 46mph (Access 6m) last year. Gawd I've never seen anything so scary ...

If you are ever over in the UK have words with Kiteboyza. He is the chairman of CLSC the club that allows access to both beaches, and keeps these fantastic resources open for us!

Nice vid and nice beach. I think I hear a road trip calling our names. I t would definately be a fun place from the look of it for sure.

yep but you need to come around to the left

If you go along that beach, pop over the estuary you get to my other playground Pendine

Managed 29.8 miles before the rain set in and a top speed of 43.6mph

Kiteboyza,

Looks like a great spot. I dragged the marker closer to the roads on the left. If it's not right, just drag and drop it to the right spot, after clicking the "Edit Spot" button (the pencil & paper icon).

Thanks

Bill
