I was in Rosebud in the morning and had 2 hrs of nice kiting.
Started out with 18kts NW and after 2hrs changed to WSW and droped.
Packed up had a beer and a fat smile!
how was your day?
cs
Brighton was onshore, but nice wind!
Was great till about 4:30 when the rain hit!
LOVING SEPTEMBER!
Bring on the shorts and rashy!!!
Glad i got to Rosebud early'ish. Had a good hour or two out before it shifted WSW and died. Then headed up to aspendale (not sure what the beach was called) and had another hour or so on the water.
All in all, very happy.
Was at st kilts from 2-6. Some pretty strong frontal stuff came in and I had to keep swapping from my 12-7m- but who can complain about having to down size because of hammering conditions!
Inverloch- west gusty a few kiters on the water. Some on 5, 7 and 9 meter.
left at 1 pm.
at some point between 8 and 10 was to strong can,t said the speed but a good kiter swapped his 9 for 7 becouse it was not safe, then changed to 5 . later the wind drop a bit then changed to sww. i am learner and couldn,t kite becouse my old 7 meter kite doesnt have the safety future that kills the power.i just looked others have fun. yes they were tracking accroos the inlet
I was surprised somewhat no one tried StJKilda, maybe it was too rainy? or Westerly?
Nah, there were quite a few at StK the whole day. The wind was more consistent earlier (before 12:30). Got gusty when the storms arrived.
I was kiting st kilda from about 830 till 1130. It was pretty good. A little bit gusty, but always had enough power. Unfortunately I also sprained my ankle
so no more kiting for a week I guess.
Yeh the gusts were turning people away- but if you had a small enough kite it was great
I was out at Hampton between 11am and 1pm. Gusty like everywhere else but good fun and the water wasn't too cold.
Pete and I were out at Hampton from about 11 to 1pm. Had a fun trip down to the Cerberus, but a bit of a struggle coming back in when we got stuck in a wind shadow by the cliffs. Wind was fantastic on the 7.
It might have been one of you guys that landed my kite for me, i was on a green 9m edge
Yes, I landed your kite. The wind dropped out about then.
We had a good tour but as Stu says, it was a bit sketchy getting back. Some photos and the track log are here www.peterskiteboarding.com/2012/09/hampton-to-black-rock-kitesurfing-tour.html
