So we had a gusty 25 to 30 knots ne in Gero this morning, i went out at pages and had some fun, then driving home, who was the dude out riding Hells gates ? Wow, pretty impressed! Riding some decent right handers in cross- off conditions. I'm not sure, but I suspect a disaster would have meant off to the abrolohos.

Anyway, whoever you were ( 70 series cruiser) hats off to you for iron balls.

nahh wasn't me didn't deem it to be risky enough, barley get out the door if the swell reads less than 2.0 these days

Yeah I thought kiting in a dead offshore wind in 1.2 m Hells Gates would be a bit lame for you Austin haha
