And I will have my ute to stick a bit of gear or people in the back.

I will/should be at the other park (jimmies beach) by about 10.
about 10 vans up from the toilet block, look for white dual cab hilux with Out Of Town 4WD on the side
We should be there by about 10 and will head up the beach about 10.30

So if anyone needs a lift or something give us a ring

If there is enough wind in the arvo I will be doing my usual and continuing all the way down past the club and walking over the sand to kite in the offshoreflat water at jimmies beach.

Although by the look of the swell on the cam this arvo there will be flat water all the way down

I think you were just locking up your car as we left
The wind was picking up
Did you have a slingshot kite?

At least some of us flew the flag in the ozi spirit

But looks a bit sad with hardly a white cap in sight

We got a sniff of wind earlier and got excited
Then it started to die off
so since most of us had been there since about 10.30 the "other halfs" were getting itchy feet

For all you fans of Little Gibber/Hawks Nest, check out this video that John T shot there in Jan 2003. My oh, my how things have changed in a few short years....It gets a bit slow in places, but worth seeing just for the view of all the now "antique" kite gear!

yep used to be wind and a few waves back then and people actually jumped without fear of being branded a gay dangler or the like (well not by fellow kiters anyway)
