I am heading to there in the early morning. If anybody is going that time I am keen to share the ride and bear the whole travel expenses. I can arrange to be picked up from any train station you like.

The smallest kite I've got is 9 crossbow. I am not sure if I can keep hold of it all day? However, I know that some of our big bros enjoyed the ride with their 8m the Thursday before when it reached over 35 knots and I don't think it's gonna be any higher tomorrow.
Btw, seem that Thursday is our lucky stormy day!

^^ Be very careful. I watched someone get launched into the carpark the other thursday trying to put up a 9m kite in strong winds, its still in the tree down at Rosebud. I suggest you check what everyone else has in the air and how they are coping before getting your kite out and if you do put your kite up then launch from the beach and not the grass so you are not in the wind shadow.

These people leaving kites in trees, on boat masts and whereever else need to be responsible for their actions / rubbish.
What do you think the council will think about paying for the removal of the kite in the trees at Rosebud last week?
Who ever owns it, pay an arbourist / tree lopper to climb the tree and remove YOUR rubbish before our sport gets another black mark it dosent need!

Looks like good 5-7m weather.

Don't be stupid is more like it! Most days when there have been big gusts out at Rosebud people have had the sense to not launch, and the ones who didn't listen ended up with their kites in trees... To the noobs out there - if people are telling you not to launch, don't bloody launch.

and for God's sakes: leave those bloody reel leashes at home

maybe its just easiest to ban north kites from going anywhere near beaches with solid structures, would solve 95% of issues these days

Seems to be in ok condition, unfortunately I already have a 12m. Can someone please crash a Zephyr or similar lightwind kite into the trees/lines I am looking for one.
Ah, and please not as high up the tree as the Rev down in Rosebud, too hard to collect...what were you thinking...

As posted by nigelw2 and myself last weak,take responsibility for your actions and PAY to get your kites removed.Dont leave your s$%t hanging in trees and power lines.
The end result will be a total ban along the peninsula.
MAN UP TO YOUR ACTIONS.

Gusting from 10 up to 35 knots. Someone might get a free flight from Rosebud or Rye over the peninsula all the way to Tassy . . .

The one in the tree across from peninsula Kite boarding still is.
We put some effort into getting it down today, but only managed to rip the canopy further...

Whoever owns it really needs to do something. Looks awful and is a risk for pulling a large branch down and causing some damage...

Be careful. The photo looks like the kite is tangled around a power line - so would need specialist skills to remove safely.

If someone has just left the kite(s) that is not good. This type of incident could lead to kiting bans etc.

Yep, pretty disappointing if that's the case.

Peter et al - Is there a 'special' no. one should call if this happens for safe removal? Local council?

It would be best to call the local power network company I think, rather than the Council.

Good day today - lots of kites. No accidents. The rev in the tree is in pieces and won't ever be flyable again but still stuck well and good. The guys from Peninsula went across to try to get it out this morning with limited success. Word on the street is that an arborist did offer over a week ago, but the owner said no as the kite was no longer flyable.

A descent poll pruning saw from bunnings and a light weight climber could straddle the tree and cut the tangled lines and pull kite out.
You can even get secetures* on a pole to snip any caught branches.

It's not that hard, but highly imbarrasing!

RPM is still there.

Well some of it. Only about half of the canopy there - with the bladder hanging out.

Obviously the owner is a little embarrassed and doesn't want to own up.....

Come on owner, it's no big deal it can happen to anyone, just get the kite down!!
A local tree looper would have it down in about 10 minutes, probably cost you $50

Ring local tree looper, tell him where and what.
Next time his passing he stops car, throws rope, climbs, Stanley knife thru lines ands it's taken 10-15 min of his time.
No guaranteeing the price but for someone with the gear / skills it's money for jam!
