Windermere is the lake.

on the sea - anywhere you want! its best to have some local knowledge so maybe try to find a friend who boards locally. but other then that jsut board to your hearts content! I board on the menai straits off north wales, we have some pretty dangerours areas that should be avoided but other then that its cool.

That would be so cool!

I was just thinking about Chaterboys injury story, you always hear bad stories. The few weeks after i started boarding, there was one day that this guy broke his leg on the slider so the ambulance came down then this guy had a heart attack while out on the water and the ambulance had to come back down.
I was like, ohh okay what am getting myself into here. Havn't seen anything since but it makes me well nervous, I get nervous after doing a few face plants, (and it's nothing to do with being a girl okay).

You wot the consiquences! Common I need to know! :evil:

Hereby enclosing my £5 membership to the Streat Team, I assume you've got my seat warmed up and waiting for me? 8)

Oh and if your really board pick yourself up a copy of Rollercoaster Tycoon (the later the version the better :wink: )
I discovered it several years ago and have not been able to put it down since, brilliant for pre-season boardem/pre-exam revision (latter not advisable)
