going by the past record this forecast will probably change 10 times and the wind will dissipate. but for now it looks great, so I thought I'd post it here for people to enjoy...

Wind forecast for Sunday:

holy c..p, unhooked in a park full of people with no harness/no depower? what's worse this looks like its here in Adelaide. At the risk of stating the obvious, this is not just desperate, its dangerous. Please tell me it's no one you know...

Yep, same here. I'll believe it when my kites up and the boards not sinking due to no power.
Weekends forecast today looks average, but something to build on during the week. Fingers crossed

Better call the fun police!!!

That's a 2m kite and the 100% depower attaches to the wrist. More danger from the sun UV than from the kite.

I wouldn't recommend it to the average kite surfer though... You need some skill.

2m ? ok if you say so, it looks deceivingly large in this photo, I thought it was a full size kite.

Well done Mick... wouldn't call it a crowded park .You probably have more foil experience than anyone in Adelaide and could land the kite on your head while riding that board !!! at least your getting to fly .

Is that a bit of a pooh stance?

I dare say it would be difficult to kite-skate there in March?

Yea small kite on short lines.

I let my 2 year old crash it into me - he loves it. I don't let my 6 year old do it anymore - she got too good at it.
