early for such a blow... nice to kite with sun, waves and on a southwester...beats the cold winter fronts anyday!
Was a brisk 18-22 with some one hit waves followed by closeout
Wind was perfect
I just kept on thinking i was seeing sharks?
Today was the 4th 20 knot seabreeze in a row for us here in nsw. Todays came up a bit late, but was still good for an hour before dark. I hope it's a sign of a awesome season
Spewin coz I saw old mate on the 15m flysurfer going along so I pumped up the 8 but was overpowered! Awesome summers wind. Just a Pitty the waves are leaving us
Yeah baby
2 days, 2 downwinders, Leighton to Brighton.
Monday, 3 of us on the big boy kites, 17m 2011 Core XR, 17m 2012 Core XR2, 17m 2011 Zephyr, all on twinny's, ocean to ourselves until we hit City Beach.
Yesterday, all on North Fuse 10m, 2 surfboards and 1 twinny and kites everywhere along the route.
Wicked start to the season, long may it continue!
Not a bad week to have off due to the arrival of Ethan James Phillips , had a fun kite on Monday and even better one yesterday, might even get another one in now while the rest of you work
.
Beautiful SW blowing, so take off work for the afternoon. Havent kited in 4 months. Driving on the way there, quick check, yep still 17knots SW. Arrive to a fricken SE @7knots. WTF! Must of swung round in minutes.
I think your “taking the arvo off” is as rusty as your kiting
Was a very nice SWer 1-2:30 while I was there alone.
Most had come in because they were underpowered, one guy had to swim in and was lucky he wasn't to far offshore.
I was starting to struggle on the 9 so had grabbed my 12, connected the pump but had not given it one pump when my mates kite, which was on the beach, flipped over when an offshore gust hit it from behind, I knew then that it was over for the arvo.
Classic early season wind shutdown
Not a good time to be too far offshore
I was too tired from last two days of kiting and surfing to contemplate it. Oh and had to catch up on wOrk
