hey all.
we are heading to little gibber aust day to try for a down winder if ne, or an upwinder if se...

snorkle, surf or fish in morning & kite back down when wind kicks in,

if you drive to hawks nest beach we can fit you & gear in a 4wd, or drive to dark point & walk a km on soft sand.
& is only one hour from newcastle !!!!

little gibber is a 14km drive on soft sand north of hawks nest, & is the closest point to broughton isl. (4km`s on water ??)
will leave at 8am.

let me know who`s keen,


cheers

aussie flag(there will be 100 other 4wd`s on the beach showing there pride)
grog,
food & or chips,
camera,
a smile,
kite gear & i`ll bring 'MAL', the old bar rescue mascot !!!!!

hey mick, we head in ne from gibber to hawks nest beach. in se we head the other way....
it will work in any east wind, beach drive is 14km`s. & kiting back is between 18 & 40km`s on the water. the beach is a big bannana. in a ne its cross off,cross on then on shore at the surf club. you get good speed runs behind the breakers close to the surf club.

wind looks good too

Hi Guys,

I am contemplating coming. Anyone know whether a Forester (08) would make it up the beach (easily)? I am thinking clearance and lack of locking diffs could make it difficult.

Cheers,

Pete.

has someone remembered to order the swell? .It seems that the wind was ordered but i'm a bit concerned that with all the organisation and co ordination this important bit has been forgotten

Thanks for the offer dude. Coming from the central coast - but the forecast looks pretty average today so I will probably end up staying home. Hope you guys get some wind.

Hey Daz,

We will come in to the Little Gibber from the North, so meet you up there when you get there. Will be in the Silver Patrol with all the kids running wild, not enough room in the Ute for the whole family.
Give us a call from the Golf Club entrnace and will let ya now whats happening up the Gibber.

Looking forward to a good day! Not much in the way of swell but we look like getting a late NE for the run down the beach.

Cheers Glen
