^Weakest excuse ever. Hope your joking

edit: Hrm, looked at a few news articles, it is pretty rainy down there.

Question: If its really rainy and the wind is moderate-light, do kites get a bit misshapen and does that effect your rides?

DAMNIT, just got back from work, after a looong day at uni. I am aching for some kiting, yesterday was more uni exams too, so I couldnt even get out then.

Even so I don't think it mattered much yesterday anyway as it was gusting to almost 30 and I only have a 14m... I've been out in 30 with full-depower and it still manages to drag me around, sheeting in results in instant boosting, I also managed to launch it through the powerzone once at longy on a hefty day, my neck hurt for a few days after that lol...

I hope you get what we had early this week, 400mls of rain and 70-100km hr winds, and now that it's somewhere between Sydney and where-ever, we'll have 3 days of 15-30knots for our long weekend....

Anyone for a downwinder....Echostorm, Nick, Sunseeker....

Saturday arvo ....see ya out there
