bullseye1599969050 Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Hoylake beach would be best for you. Massive. You will need a permit from the local club. Check out their website http://www.wsyc.org.uk/wsyc_pages/wsyc_homepage.aspx. If you contact the secretary of the club you'll get all the details on how to join. I think it's £50 per year.

bullseye1599969050 Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 They are allowed this year. I had a tip from Bres and I have been in touch with them and they have confirmed. Membership price is the same as buggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BladeAddict Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I can confirm land boarding is now permitted at Hoylake. PM me your email address and I'll send you info/membership form for WSYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullseye1599969050 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Do you know what are the daily permit prices for landboarding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeAddict Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Bullseye, temporary membership is £10 for a weekends access. Or, as we are now into July, you can get a half year membership for £25. You will need to show proof of insurance, preferably BKSA but we also accept others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullseye1599969050 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Thanks for that, the half year membership sounds tempting. Is the beach any good on the cross shore wind? I know it has plenty of space but is the sand quite hard or does it go soft away from the waterline? I have BKSA insurance so there should be no problem there. Could you PM me membership form for the half year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeAddict Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Every wind direction works at Hoylake The sand is reasonably firm, it's by no means the firmest beach around and is definitely better in winter but it's not bad. I haven't boarded on it so don't know how it is for boards but it's ok for buggies with barrow tyres. There are some buggy freestylers there today having fun in flexi buggies with barrows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some buggy freestylers there today having fun in flexi buggies with barrows We certainly were on the beach having loads of fun in our little bugs and skinny wheels. It's a quality beach which offers loads to anyone regardless of discipline. The club is awesome as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
