Its been one of the best surfing winters in years. Heres a pic I took whilst paddling out at on eof the local points breaks in january. Cold water but it was worth it!

2010-03-15T14:42:00.000-07:00

Well the water is finally warming up, and at the moment its sunny and YES!!! windy! book your lessona now in time to be ripping for summer.

As well as being a Stella kite surf spot, aberdyfi is based at the southern most tip of Snowdonia and has some of the best mountain biking in the country within minuites of the coast. The now legendary Machynlleth Cli machx trail is 10 miles away, and just 6 miles down the road, Pennal's forestry has miles and miles of rustic riding and some less rustic north shore trails to check out. See the vids below. The Howies, Dyfi enduro is also based here, first weekend in May.
No matter what the weather theres something great to do here!

learn to kitesurf this spring!

2010-02-12T00:42:00.001-08:00

The water may still be a tad baltic at the mo, but spring is just around the corner! In a months time the water will have heated up considerably, and boots and gloves will be a distant memory. So dont leave it till summer, get in the water and learn in spring, then be ready to rip through the summer months. e mail us now to book a weekened course before the slots get booked up.

pier jumping kite surfers and 50 knot wind!

2009-11-22T12:43:00.000-08:00

What a windy week. The wind just continues to pour on through.. The start of the week saw 2 kite surfers make the news at ten by jumping over a pier, then today here at Aberdyfi and Borth we get regular 50 knot gusts throught the day. It just doesnt get much windier than that!!

winter!!

2009-11-12T00:03:00.000-08:00

WEll with December just around the corner, were fully into winter. The water is still pretty warm, at the moment anyway!

Surf and wind have both been good, and this weekend looks like another good one. Were taking a month off from teaching, but will resume again mid december, so book your places now. Vouchers as usual are prooving to be a HOT choice for xmas presents, so dont leave it last minuite, order yours now, especially with postal delays being likely. Check the on line store at http://www.kitesurfwales.co.uk/ and go to the on line shop.

Although were not teaching for a few weeks, were always at the end of a phone or a lap top for friendly in partial advice.

Enjoy the weekend it gona crank!

What a week!!

2009-08-22T02:55:00.000-07:00

Its been a awesome week here in Aberdyfi and Borth. With solid winds for over a week every day. We finally caught up with our lack of teaching earlier in the month, and have ran courses full time, fully booked for the last 8 days. No wind today, so cancelled, but to be honest we need the brake! On the plus side, the wind should be back tommorow and lessons start again.
We have a very limited spaces left for the end of August, so csll quickly to book in. Or leave it till September and make the most of the star of autumn and classic sailing conditions! Weve allready had two days reach 40 knots this week, so the small kites are getting used all ready, Happy Dayze :)

A great week!

2009-07-21T06:19:00.000-07:00

We've had a great week, with this weekends courses ran in 12-15 knots of on-shore wind, and great sun shine. This week has allready seen a solid 20 knots and its still coming through thick and fast!

Looking like a fantastic weekend of kite surfing ahead of us! A solid 20 knots westerly tommorow, and dropping off but still good for sunday. The water has warmed up to, so this will be the first official spring weekend :) Happy dayze!

2009-03-23T08:24:00.000-07:00

Fancy a change from the beach! If theres no surf or wind, and weve had enough of flat water supping, were always out on the bikes. Were lucky enough to be based amongst somne of the countries best mountain biking. Be it the climachx trail, Nant yr arian or Coed y Brenin near dolgellau, or miles and miles of virtually secret routes all over the local mountains. If you need a guide to show you round, just ask, if were to busy, we have some other hot local riders that know the area and will happily be your guide for the day. ( theres always plenty of good pubs to quenche your thirst at the end of the day to)!
