carantoc: here's somewhere for you & mark to go where you can complain about battens and daggerboards, compare board size by litres, & reminisce about the glory days of the 90s- www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/General/
leave us to alone discuss proper boardsports...
We do - But it is fkn laughable when it is ALL the time here with people claiming they kited in 35kn or 40kn or whatever.
It is so laughable that we did not find this by ourselves, others brought it to our attention as it is claimers talking sh!t up again. Ergot, could not resist.
So need need to make it personal talkign about "real boardsports" - my issue is with how strong it was not if you were kiting or windsurfing.
Now- it was 25-30 with SOME gusts to 35 later. That happens a lot. A real 35kn day does NOT happen a lot in Perth.
In Gero kiters did solid 35 kn and it is way different. They do that all the time up there.
Listen hard - I never said windsurfing is better, or kiting is not a real sport, I never criticised kiting - all I said was to claim it as a 35kn day is erroneous.
Craggers' post seem to be 35 kn as that was the average wind speed.
Like I said - given the logic from some of you, I have windsurfed LOTS of 50kn days.
NO I have not, in winter I have been out in 30-35kn days which had rare peaks of 50. That is a 30-35 day NOT a 50kn day.

You're on the piss again aren't you Mark
Flogging a dead horse
^^^ nah should be pretty pissed later though. 
Just take issue with stamp claiming it is windsurfer v kiter thing again when clearly I am just asserting it was not "a 35kn day"
BTW if the video i showing a "kite loop" I can see the difficulty in that fast rotation whilst airborne and it is real windy. Looks great.
If it's 30kts gusting to 35 and you're pulling the pin looping you're kite it's fair to claim it.
Anyone looping in 30+ has balls.
that is ****ing hilarious video craggers watched it 3 times now love it hahahaha awesome :D
The windspeed 20 meters up probably was "mostly 35 knots". Anyhow, if the police pull you over for doing 120 km/h, it is not advisable to argue that you did not drive 120 km/h for most of the day.
This started with some cool pics and has turned into the biggest load of bollocks. Go kite you ****ing nerds. Don't forget your wind meter so you can ensure that you report exactly the correct wind speed.
Mark is correct it was mid to high 20's... regardless, great shots of some committed loops. nice.

By that logic I drove at 110 kph today AND did shopping in the city. I am sik.as.****. cos it was 110kph and I still shopped. Sik.
(Hunter, yes NOW I am pissed)
I love youse all.
