It pays more than the last more anual leave and more sickies and a week on week off roster all up hope to only work 4 1/2 months per year and did i mention more sickies there will be lots of time to stand down the beach next to the kombi and do the ocasional kite when the weather is just right 10-40+ shouldnt miss out on to much kiting but i have probably kited more in the last month than some of you do for the hole season probably only get down the beach for 9 or 10 hrs tomorrow

Bit of subject though this forum is starting to be like facebook

Hang on I will just check facebook....................

Waxy curently has no friends

Sweet more time to kite.

Well, to sort of answer the original question regarding kiting at Pt Broughton,








Walshy carving light chop at Webling Beach Sat 8/11/008.
5 Hrs on the beach. Wind 15 - 23 kts. Flat water at similar depths to Milang.




Walshy taking Fossil's Sof-X "ice cream truck" for a run.

Walshy did comment (several times) that he did not realise that this Fossil was still learning to get up on a board.

Gracious to the MAX, Walshy offered not only his advice but also a couple of attempts with his REV 13 & board......all agreed that for damage control it would be best for us learners to return to our own gear [:D

At the end of the day Walshy got some good air time, finds a new spot and is entertained somewhat......by fossil's beach body surfing.. a few beers & all is good......a few more beers & the pain starts to ease

Thank god for deserted beaches.

A short discussion with Walshy, (the only one with any real kiting experience between us), regarding the original question of Kiting the Boughton Bay, south of the Jetty, came out that some one with experience & good upwind ability could do it easily.

Thanks again for the advice & good company.

After a few bandaids and some therapy, I think the 13 is going to make it

She got a bruising, but the SlingSlut will keep going hard!


Keep at it guys, all it takes is practice and determination. And from the amount of times you two guys got kite-raped and came back for more, I'd say the determination part is in the bag.

Happy learning guys
