nice!

i particularily liked the "threading the needle" through the skinny.

any croc's?

theres one thing missing. boosting over some swamp tree's

Lastly. it would be a night mare if you dropped your kite into the swamp bushes.

Cool vid - thanks for sharing.

Now please tell us where that is... (joking!)

Nice flat water, but I'm not so keen about that narrow bit

Sweet. I like a good huck over something. It shows commitment and good timing. Its one thing to lay down a decent boost. another thing entirely to time it over something hard or spikey.

I was bouldering on sunday on the landboard. Jumping over this nicely placed boulder. managed a few wheel taps on the way over too. alas the gopro housing is busted at the moment to no footage.

So when are you gonna show footage of a boost over Tumby Jetty? Or maybe a rail grind over the pontoon?

Great vid and awesome spot. One tip for the new go-pro: get some RainOx from Kmart or any car store and put on the gopro case. You'll have fewer drops of water on the lens.

Great vid. To me thats what gives the most pleasure in kiting , to find a place where no-one has kited before away from the crowds . Flat water , creeks to kite through, mangroves to jump over and to share it with a few mates . Well done.

Rhys, how did i get back? the creek has a main section after you get out of the botlle neck and run down about 80 metres and you can get back to where you came from in about 3 tacs, if its westerly and crankin you can go back down the slot

If that's a swamp ,I'd hate to see what you'd call the dirty muddy water we sail in .........and we are on an open bay....

Is that tidal?

Love the video
