Considering the latest Weather phenoma, will WAKSA make the call about Kitestock - and postpone. (I do realise that catering etc is involved but it is still early)
It was unbelievably difficult trying to T-up kitestock between work and family, and I am not going to waste time and money if the wind SUCS and lying on the beach.
I am holding thumbs, toes and anythink that I can cross for good winds.
Cheers

I think we all need to get on our knees and start fricken praying to Huey the god all all water sports.
We've been lucky every other year so lets hope this one is know different.
Any forecast more than 2 days out is pure fallacy. Dreamt up by consulting tea leaves and chicken entrails.
Geez, head up, have fun Plenty of kiting crew to catch up with and share the stoke.
Just means that beer o'clock comes sooner.
We book our Gnaraloo trip 4-6 months out. We don't pull the pin cause of a dodgy forecast.
HTFU Stefan!

Hmmmmm,
Might be a good spearfishing weekend. The Spanish should be running by about now Any local spearo's know . Thinking about leaving all the kites at home and bringing the boat and dive gear.
Sitting on the beach sweating for three days getting sunburnt has knobs on it!

I'm from the east coast, trying to work out which weather station is closest or offers the best prediction? The port Denison station seems to be down. It's a long way for me to come if there will be little or no kiting cos I'm on a budget at the mo and thinking the money might be better spent on a Fiji trip mid winter.
Advice please WA wind gurus?
wind came in late today around 17 knotts in Gero , 12m kites , I have seen fully troffed out and 25 knotts seabreezes , but hay Ive only seen 30 summers in Geraldton so who am I judge,
Probably not a very good judge if this forum is anything to go by, you will probably be slammed for actually having some experience in the matter.
Here we go, peanut alert !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dont worry lads! you will get wind, beer and p****- so its all good!
if not come to North Queensland and we look after you, make sure you can handle a 4m kite and a bit of potty mouthing
good luck- spewing we cant be there for kiteshock.
peace* and remember wind is a bi*** and then you die..
yup gero got to 40 inland then that lurrrvly still time and it came good powered session on a 13m, just kite on an easterly, lets face it the kiting at the event is less than average anyway so what does a little offshore wind make it? still average...specially after the recent dragon slaying antics......

Walks,
I used to know a bloke named Walker, Tony Walker i think it was???
But then i heard he switched from riding Naish to North
Guess you'll be hanging out with the AKS;SOS & WA Surf crew this year Tony??
Same old Tony Mark, i still have to buy my kites so i can hang out with who ever i like
The reason for my change of maker is the performance of the kite not the price.
This years Rebel is AWESOME, thanks * AKS *
Please can i sit at your table now Darren
