Here it comes, here it comes!

I am! So excited to get back into some reliable seabreezes. Learn new tricks, and have fun with mates.

Are you as excited as me? What's your vibe?

Have you been training?

Have you got new toys your gagging to play with?

Is there one trick or move you want sit back later and go "Yeah! Nailed it!"



Personally, can't wait to feel that special vibe of summer, have my eyes drilled out by the 3pm sun, aches & pains from kiting too much, and being one of the few crew down the windy beach because all the mums & dads have gone home because of howling winds.

Yes, been training (a bit), no new toys, but definitely want to bag a decent strapped air...

Fark summer! I'm amping for spring westerlies and monster swell.

Give me wind and waves in abundance!

You know when you get back from a long trip and your dog's so excited it pees uncontrollably? Well that's how excited I am!

I haven't kited much over the last 3 seasons due to injury's but feel like the time is right to get back in to it with a fresh outlook and better attitude. All of the new gear looks awesome so can't wait to try it out, ordering new gear always reignites the passion . Definitely not fit and know it will hurt to get back to a level where I can ride comfortably every time the wind is up but it will be worth it


Bring on the wind and flat water can't wait

Amping for it. Especially now I don't work wednesdays and Fridays anymore!!

Love being the only person on the beach in 25kts howling wind And pumping up for an epic session....

After 4 seasons I still get the butterflies when approaching the beach knowing it's on!!!

Super excited!!! Second summer for me and been practising all winter!

Got new park 10m which is a step up from my vector.

Hoping to master dark slides and kite loop jumps this season and hopefully unhooked trick as well !

Already had a taste of it at woodies on Monday

Sure am! Have had 7 days in a row of sun, wind and swell in WA Midwest. Magic, I can feel my kiting improving already, and a good 6 months of summer to go. Have to look after the body better this season, missed 4 months last summer with a stuffed back.

Yeah, everyday there's a wind and a wave. ^^^

Cause I kite all year round.

My local spot was baked for winter kiting.

And summer is the cherry on the top.

Pop it.

Yep that vibe is back. I'm hoping to nail some dark slides too. My first attempt I think could be a basket of hilarity, but confident I will
Get them dialled.

Awesome! (Sorry, had to look up what a "dark slide" is. Know it by sight, just not by name. They look good fun)




Yeah, first self launch of the season is always a bit dodgy while the muscle memory comes back.
