Dont think ive ever even been in over 30. That loop would of been in maybe 20-25 max. 35 would be psychotic.

keep in mind that a 35knot NE feels like a 30knot SE, was epic tho. hows the winds up your way going?

Don isnt too bad on a northery as long as theres enough wind. Lose a bit of the smooth water areas. Yeh looks like its gona start crqnking tomorrow. Probably bit stormy though

Nice keep em coming wallis, small crew heading that way tomorrow with boat for a hit out at the camp island run , just north of where Newman wants to dump his abbot point spoil, should be good if the northerly kicks like they are forecasting. Have the Bowen kited the area before

Finally had a go today on the board, wind was terrible lucky to be 12-13k but once i found a smooth area i was getting on a plane and up wind enough to try some unhooked. So far im very happy with it, i definatly havnt lost any bottom end. Noticed the weight difference going to blind, but is not a problem, cant wait for some decent wind which looks like tomorrow.
Tractorguy nah ive never kited outside bowen, definatly need a road trip somewhere

If you end up doing a trip down the coast. Yeppoon is an unspoiled kite playground!

That board is awsome to land blind on with no fins, so so easy. I only ride the pop with fins is when I need more edge for mobes or trying for kgb
