Hi MidWest kiters,
A few of us have got together to have a crack at bringing Geraldton Airlines back to life. The name was a bit confusing and google takes you to flights/airports so we have renamed it GeroKiteCrew for want of a better name.
We have very modest goals at the moment. To have some sort of an event this year, we are organising an afternoon out at Horrocks on Saturday Feb 18th. Very low key, there will be a bbq, a few spot prizes and a down winder to Little Bay with transport back to Horrocks. Everyone is welcome to attend whether a GeroKiteCrew member or not.
We've set up a slack page for general chats and banter, similar to the Perth one setup by the upwind kiter dude. You can find instructions on how to access it below. Its a pain to setup but works well once you get it working:

We have a facebook page for the event and GeroKiteCrew in general:

Hope to see a few people there. I guess that kills the wind for the 18th!
Cheers

Yeah its a worry. Im hoping cauncy is going to come as its always windy where he is :)
Sounds like a great idea what you are doing and would be keen to do a few things like that up your way(mandurah gets a bit boring) . Are you going to keep everyone up to date on here, I'm not on Facebook
Nathe, we do have a website as well.

But ill keep updating seabreeze as a lot of kiters read it.
Hope you can make it!
Can't make the 18th I'm doing the lancelin to wedge downwinder but definitely keen for others
Its looking like we should have reasonable conditions at Horrocks on Saturday. If that swell holds up its going to be fun!

So we can kite an easterly @ horrocks ??! 
Your on :-)
You can if you like Timmy!
Looks like a seabreeze in the afternoon though...
Hi everyone, we just arrived in Perth and head north today. If "everyone" includes kiters from the other end of the world we'd be more than happy to join you 
As we don't know the spot jet - how do we get there?

More the merrier!
Go north from perth 475k and turn left at northampton. Its 22k from there to Horrocks.
cheers
Yeah it was looking OK yesterday, but crap today.
Just have to keep an eye on it over the week. Fingers crossed.
Fear not. I'll bring the Jetski out. That will have a 20kn southerly blow over in a jiffy

That should fix it Matt! Should plan a fishing trip too.

MetEye says Between 2 and 5 something happens
Looks alright for a down winder to Little Bay!
Guys,
Forecast has gone from bad to worse so I'm cancelling Saturdays event at Horrocks.
There is the possibility of a March event at Corro, we will keep you posted.
Enjoy the beautiful warm (windless) day on the beach!
Cheers
When in March are you thinking? i need to head south am pretty flexible with my dates and would be very keen.
