Hey crew,
if you see Luke smashing it on his crazy fly please make him welcome.

"HUGE" effort towing in one of Torquay's Elder Tribesman kite, took about an hour.

Luke, I went around to fisho's to pick Wally and you up but you shot off betting back up wind before I could get to you.

Well Done.

Safe journey for all those heading off to Robe tomorrow or over the weekend. Drive safe and looking forward to catching up with everyone for some epic wind, waves and a few brews thrown in for good measure!

Friday morning saw some solid swell and enough breeze for the kiters to ride from sunup till about 2 pm. Riddim section rocked the Friday night party like never before with the best turn out I have ever seen...Saturday surf conditions are cleaning up and sizable swell is still around so off for a surf soon- this weekend never disappoints !!!

Hi Geoffrey,
Hope you all are having a great time.
This is one of those spots you were asking about. I couldn't pull myself away from this to attend Robe this year. Thursday Friday and today. 15 > 20 knots side shore each day.

Only got a couple of pic's of Thursday. Couldn't let my son the poledance have all the fun.
