Is it worth the one hour drive to get down there today? getting very confusing indications of wind forecasts....currently blowing 13Knts which wont get me out of the water - me being a fat bugger!

Sod it...if I dont go and there is wind i will be fed up and I will stay fat therefore less kiting therefore less shenanigans with wife...


Gotta be worth the gamble!

Supposed to pick up later in the afternoon according to BOM Marine Wind forecast. The tide is high in the early arvo so hopefully the sandbars will be less of an issue this time.

Head out there dude,
Worst case is you get kitted up, pump the kite, not enough wind to fly, pack it up and had a little workout getting it all ready.

Hey mate,

Good to meet you today, that was my kite that went flat (like 3 bloody times, damn slow leak) anyway that wind really picked up in the afternoon and I was fully lit on my 10 at about 5 i changed kites and had a great kite eventually. It was a good end to a frustrating day, I wish I could do it all again tomorrow but back to work unfortunately.

Cheers
