justmy luck i gotta go to site for 2 days i may be back in time for an afternoon kite on friday !!!
had a fair sesh on monday but would love to get the 7mtr out on that 34knot wind on sat
That would be the 22kts on Sat, which will in reality be 22kts for a 10 min period then 12-15 for the remaining 90% of your sesh until you pack up then it will crank in and be as steady as.. er.. something very steady.. as you contemplate your cold wet navel. 
Roll on summer!! 
Just back from the beach
Its crap - direct west
Try again in a couple hours me thinks.
No it was ****.
Exactly as GF said... 20kts for about 3 minutes total, and about 14-15 the rest of the time. Still woke me up a bit before work so successful on that count.
Try again this arvo...
Been and just got back
Its really **** now
Was a guy out on a core thingo.
Was entertaining to watch for all the wrong reasons. 
yello core - Idiot your Famous 
That'll teach you all for trying to hog the wind while we're at work !
Yeah I started (like an Idiot) with my 9m core @10:30 till 12ish.
Then I changed it to 12m cult till about 4:00.
Wind speed was variable between 10-12 knots up to 22 and it was mostly directly West.
I had fun and I have been washed away like 20 times.
...
No regret, even if I knew what the condition was I would have gone for it again.
...
Mike said it once, noobs are getting happy with any session.
Your enthusiasm is inspiring.
It brought back memories
I'll be there again tomorrow
PS If its west tomorrow try woodies the south facing or north facing beaches.
It's so disappointing watching the trees copping a hiding today, would so desperately love to be out in 30kt NW. 
Can't go after work either, social plans.
Tomorrow sunrise - here's hoping it doesn't die off at all between now and then.
It was gusty but hey, the sun was out, and it was kinda peaceful and empty at Trigg, beaut winter's day, waves were big but not too big.... and my car didn't get broken into.
I don't think I've ever moved my trim that much and I've got a huge depower throw on my DNA!!
STILL: GreenPat, GetFunky, et al, IT'S BETTER THAN WORK INNIT??!!! [}:)]
don't think the twin tip is cutting it any more for me....
I had the time
I went to the beach
My Motivation died in the arse
Came home and fixed surfboards instead
Had a cheeky 06:30 session this morning before work. Was direct on, but you know what, it was windy and it was awesome
@ Leighton we were 4 kiters in total.
Me, a green Cab, a pink kite and one 7m rev.
I started from 10:30am and I gassed out @ about 2:30
While I was leaving I've seen another kiter coming.
And I've seen "Slack"
It was awesome, it had a bit of north in it and there were some big waves.
Our SS rev friend got busted in one of those big waves and one of his strut inflation tubes opened and he ended up with a leading edge full of water!
It was a sick day, I'll see you all tomorrow.
Now I gotta sleep 
^^^^ Mate you did well to stay out for +4hrs. I came back about 4pm and stayed out for ~1hr and was buggered after that.
See you there Friday 10-10:30ish
It was NUKING today! I was maxed on my 8M then tried a 7M which was on the limit as well. Sick session in very angry nature.
Chart looks stacked for the morning might have my corn flakes at the beach ;)
Ahh winter kiting aint it fun.
After having a 5 hour session yesterday on a 9mtr I was a bit sore and tired today. I was in no hurry but eventually headed out at my local just before 4pm, I took a 5.5 Dos and a 9 Kima down and my surfboard. It was up around 30 knots so the 5.5 it was, well within minutes it was around 40k but it was sweet with the little 5.5 next minute it was back to 20k and I was losing ground so I came in and pumped up the 9 Kima.
First run out it was nicely powered but within a couple of minutes it was gusty as and back up over 30, I was way overpowered being on the 6'2" surfboard but couldn't be bothered coming in to go back to the 5.5.
I still had fun but will be happy to see a steady consistant sea breeze when they finally get here.
Check out the Ocean reef graph from about 3.30 to 5.30, I couldn't have picked a worse time to head out, it had been pretty consistant all day.
Hey Pat, if your real keen an feeling rather narcistic (?) give us a call.
Rellie, you know my number, free for the next few days, it looks awesome, small kites suc
And guess what?!
It was +30.
Do you remember when you were justifying your self to buy that 9m kite;
*think bubble*
"I can kite surf in every condition now"
Fail
