Comment on Getting rich at ways that don’t count at the bank? by Tom Beaton

Always chasing that balance. I believe there is a certain level of financial security which can be reached if lucky without working 9-5, 5 days a week.

Also with flexible work hours, reducing time wasted travelling and seasonal busy times, you can set aside plenty of time for travel/leisure/etc

I saved 1000 miles a month by moving house.

It’s only through hearing about the exploits of such heroes as you and Mr Bennet that us ‘weekend warriors’ make it through the cold, dark winter, with sessions sometimes months apart. Keep living the dream buddy, you’re doing it for all of us !

It’s hard.
I have found a way to live in Cornwall (not London), have more leisure time, and to spend more of it in or by the sea than before. But a LOT less than you and Will (and others). I often wish I spent more in the sea and less on work and other projects. But my job and other projects are also (mostly) enjoyable.
I’ve chosen to have more of a future plan integrated into my life, but admire those that don’t, or those that find a way to get more sea time than I do.

That tilt/shift railey shot is amazing! I love it. Looks so good, so original.

Comment on I’m teaching everything I know about kitesurfing in a FREE clinic by Sarah Savage

Having just returned from the first of these clinics, Ian and I would recommend anyone else attending subsequent clinics to watch the movie at http://www.oxbowatermenexperience.com/.

It will give you a little taster on the vibe for the weekend. No wind doesn’t mean no fun in the water! There’s still tons to do and learn.

What a memorable weekend!!

In 1976 I saw the cover of the Beach Boys Twenty Golden Greats, (Google it…) and knew I wanted to be a ‘surfer’. Growing up in Nottingham made this quite difficult. By way of skateboard, windsurfing, snowboarding and more recently kitesurfing, I have always kept that picture in mind, and today, Sunday 28 Jan 2012, some 36 years later I did it! I caught my first clean glassy green wave! Thanks to Dom.
Sarah and I booked onto Dom’s clinic as soon as we saw it advertised, and are really glad we managed to get places! What a great weekend! As someone who has had a lifelong desire to surf, but never really managed it, it was great to hook up with likeminded kitesurfers and Dom and be introduced to surfing from a kiter’s perspective.
Dom’s enthusiasm and boundless knowledge shone and everyone learnt loads in an enjoyable, well thought out weekend.
It speaks volumes about Dom that he didn’t charge for this weekend, we would have gladly paid!
Thanks again Dom. If anyone has the slightest interest in the surf side of our sport, we would highly recommend one of Dom’s weekends, if you can get a place on one!!

Good winds!

Hi Greg,
I´ve come from Germany to Cornwall for kitesurfing now 2 times (vacation), and also enjoyed Daymer Bay once (only, unfortunately). I hope to return many times in the future.
You´re a very lucky man to live in that area!
Thanks for all your efforts with spot guide and blog, it´s just great. By reading through it and looking at your nice pictures, I feel back in Cornwall at once.
Wonder that I didn´t discover your site earlier.
Regards, Christian
