Browsing seabreeze recently you would think that kitesurfing is yet another life chore that we have to deal with so I thought I would share my recent experiences...

I had an awesome kite on Sunday, weather was stunning and we had a nice steady 25 knot wind, nobody short tacked me, I had plenty of space, didn't see any sharks, didn't have a kitemare, had a sweet kite including learning some new things I've been trying for a while and when I came in someone helped land my kite and they put it on the grass for me.

Couldn't agree more EnglishCraig,
Looked at the forecast this arvo and it was ****, still chucked the kites in and headed down the local. Would have been lucky to be averaging 12-13knots, didn't even try holding ground, just had a quick 1/2 hr sesh playing in the surf and walked back to my launch spot. Still beat the **** out of anything else I'd rather be doing. Washing it all back with a couple of mixed bevos. Life's fkn great.

Shouldn't this be in the NSW forum ?

West Australians aren't interested in hearing about people kiting purely for the enjoyment of it

Yeah mate I'm also stoked!

These stoke slamming muppets don't understand life!..

My stoke is unconventional this week. Got out on my kitebuggy, was hauling arse at about 60kph then just chucking loops straight into the powerzone without slowing down. it make for some sensational crazy g forces. It was like being shot out of a cannon being attached to a bungy. Freaken madness! If I did that sort of tomfoolery on the water I would be bitch slapped to ablivion.

Also this week did some kitelongboard skating... a few light wind water sessions and a mountainbike finisihing with a river bomb session.

Summer is glorious and the sun being up to 9 is awesome.

Not technically correct If you read through majority of the negs it's eastern staters hating west aussies for simply posting something.. Just sayin

But yeah - the STOKE is gooood. The WA crew been gettin plenty of late. Its been a super start to the season - really windy. Those breezes that just keep going strong into the night Something we havent really had for a few years.

And Rowdy ^^^ stop talking to yourself mate

Deleting some idiots posts and then leaving someone elses replys to that idiot makes the normal person look like an idiot... just saying. We should still be able to delete stuff for longer like any other forum.
