So the swell finally hit my place. Scored barrels till 12 then the wind came up. Then hit them with them with the kite with a NE seabreeze. Waves lined up perfectly with the swell. Throwing front side 5's and mobes was so easy with the swell direction. Best day on the water Iv had! hope you all get to make the most of the crazy conditions.
Peace.
Touch wood, no bad injuries tomorrow please.
Moffs is breaking across the bay as we speak.
Tooway lake is filling up.
Awesome, have you travelled up the road to the nth, looks like you may get a few days of it, cant believe its going to head right back up the coast we might get a splash mid week. I am hoping it crosses the coast and gives us some rain.
My 9m got ripped into 2 today.
There was a near miss behind me, one kite fell out of the sky and landed on my head.
Bridle lines around my head again... Just lovely.
I didn't panic this time. I had a wing tip in-front of my face and my bar was all caught in the kite.
I ejected, the other bloke let his kite go and we were swept onto Pincushion Island. Swell wasn't too bad so we didn't get slammed, just a knee graze.
Too much kiting drama in my life.
Pretty bummed so went and took photos in the water with the go pro.
Any of you guys riding along the Gold Coast over the weekend, with a Blue/White kite? I saw you on the Ch7 News
I'm fairly new to the kite surfing and seabreeze community and I'm wondering why loftywinds cops the red ones for pretty much every comment?
Haha pretty sure those red thumbs originated from the big cluster**** Lofty started with a kite sale that went south. Named the seller as a crook, outed his real name on sea breeze but turned out lofty hadn't been so forthcoming with the actual events of the sale, including physically threatening the seller If I remember correctly.That was the day the internet turned on lofty, his real name came out and he has been red thumbed ever since. Nothing to do with his "dangerous" opinion.. Rofl!
pretty sure the thread has been deleted but it was some pretty funny internet drama. The internet never forgets Lofty.
