Just wondering if I should kite on not. Camping on the goldy and can setup not far from my camp site. Seabreeze says wind will be light all day but it's been picking up. Probably just enough now, but there may be a storm approaching?? Would you go???

Have kited there in a straight easterly before, works ok. Just don't go to far from shore in case it rains cos the rain just kills the wind. How long u down for?

Back to the sunny coast on Monday so probably will be lucky to kite again unless I get a storm

iphone ?? means you have access to current wind readings, BOM radar and of course your buddies!!

Long story short - if in doubt - don't go out !!!!! and learn from the experience - in most instances ur gut feel is correct!!

+1 on this
1 day of not kiting even though u could have
is heaps better than a whole season of not kiting because u shouldn't have

I'd be a bit concerned about the water being up in the air and sky down low. I'm not confident I can kitesurf upside down.
