Damn, Wish I was coming too! But have a wonderful time all & bring home a few pics for me, & spare a thought as you're lineing up onto "Col Point".
cheers
Col
P.S. can somebody remember to take a spare harness for Ric.
We will miss u col! It was great having u around last time... Few more kiters this trip so might hav a 'cols point classic' .... @Ric- how do pre pay more jetstar kilos... I will need a couple more
Leave the clothing suitcase & makeup behind Holly, you don't need it.
I think it's 10kg hand luggage.
Col
Yep I think it was 10 kg hand luggage and 20checked
I think you can get away with 21.5kg checking and 10kg carryon
Dont forget you allowed 1 carry on bag plus small handbag/laptop
So maximise these as they didn't check the weight of these last time
If you got some heavy stuff put it in the carryon, just be carefull it's not stuff customes will confiscate, scewdrivers, sharp things and things that might go bang :-D
Jetstar do not have a sporting goods allowance (that I know of)
And I think I noticed during the flight booking you could buy an extra 5kg for about $80,, but never seen anything for 1kg lots, Also remember it being about 18-20 per kg at checkin.
were a jumper with pocket and put cameras/ phone in there :-)
OMG the last 2 days were supposed to be no wind .yesterday was windy enough to get out and today is crankin ..
Yep sure has been windy
How r u gettinto airport?
I assume you will have 5 in your group?
I think craig will only have 3 (himslf, me, holly)
What time did we leave newy last time?
IMPORTANT for those who haven't paid yet
Andrew form The beachouse just called me to say could we please take AUD and pay in Aud for our accom (that will give us the special rate )Food drinks etc fine to go on the tab and cc or fiji dollars

Looking at todays and last nights forcast runs it looks like the wind next week will be there but not as strong as the first forcast runs were predicting so I would still be packing a lightwind kite as well as a higher wind kite .Don't panic the wind is very cross shore and you can have fun in light winds .The swell is looking epic

Yeah, but you don't know what you've missed at home. Loads of big westerlies & no risk of sunburn & no coral or mosquito born infections. We've had a ball.
So what was your strike rate & how was the swell? & what were the consequences of Ric's risky inquisitive behavour this time? Sounds like Holly didn't take my advice & took her wardrobe with her.
cheers

Hi Col
Well to balance the ledger (vs hunter valley gusterlies on flatwater) Wind was good .i personally kited all but 2 days (needed the rest .no sunburn(thanks to Craig's zinc on the lips and plenty of ozone layer ) mozzies ,not maozzie time and went armed with aerogard.Cols point was still verrry nice and lach's ledge up at namatakula claimed me as a victimd (big wipeout and lost board but thanks to Holly and Ric my board was s found ) )
two big downwinders and lots of new and very nice clean lefts were found) Another good trip and looking forward to next years trips)
Regards
Lach

Awwwwwe Ric!
It finally gave in I see. No so good, I hope it didn't happen at the start of the trip!
Looks like a good trip otherwise, bummed I missed it. I'll be back next year for sure though. Starting to get pumped for a good season here in the meantime. Here's hoping anyway.
