Geez you are cruel spotty.... but funny .
Just be careful karma's a bitch sometimes .
In Ry's defense it was pretty sketchy wind, anyone who knows that beach knows that it can be gusty near the beach even when nuking out the back.
I wanted to unhook yet felt too overpowered on my 6 @ 90kg so ended up pretty much just getting yanked down the line , Ry was unhooking and ripping as usual though.
That rock is super shallow.
4-6m kites?
WA isn't that windy. I have used a 5m once in a northerly.
Fellas, I think its time to eat bigger bowls of wheaties.
some vid footage
apologies for quality, there should be quality stuff from bws.
6m seemed like the go for the waves when it was 20-30knots
By the way, he was one of the few who was riding strapless and unhooking in 20-30knts and 2.0-2.5m swell. Then to bust it loose he grabs a hand held GoPro to take some footage ! Another day at the office.
I never saw Pete's footage up there and am at work now so no youtube, so I will have to wait till I get home but seeing as Pete was only filming at the start of my first session there when I was being super cautious (and by you're big smiley after your comment), I can only assume that you are being sarcastic .....Damn now you've got me curious.
For some reason I could view the first vid on my Iphone but not the second and now I can't even watch the first one?
Is that the hum of wind over a stubbie I here at the start of the first vid.
Nice vertical attack on that wave too Kent, at least you got to wave to your mum though or were you trying to hold onto your handbag
Beautiful to watch.......all of you guys. I esp. liked the fellow with the hat at the end.....one could see he was having a hell of a ride.
Just the sound of the wind and waves is so nice........envy.
Had to laff at the faceplant, good to know he's human after all. Maybe it was 4m conditions after all.
BTW - Ry, scotty and Kent.. that's like a passport stamped: London, Paris and Kalgoorlie!
