The wild west is firing with wind & waves for the last 5 day after a bit of a wind drought. The winds above 30kn this arvo with big gusts ripping across waters. Sitting the arvo out resting ,waiting for a pick up in the swell. 5 & 7m kites are the order of the day.
Both my kiting mates Radman & Skwinty are coming good from knee and ankle injuries. Radmans broken leg is getting more hours or hydrotherapy on the waves, though his backhand slash needs a bit more attention. An Sqwintys watermellon knee has reduced to normal,he is shreding again.
Young fellas of today! ![]()
Been kiting in Syd the last 3 years slowly progressing - moving to Perth soon, 3 weeks in Dec then for good from 2 jan - can't f***in wait - the thought of a 5m kite is totally foreign to me - am selling my current quiver and going to load up with some new kites, boards etc - YIPEEEEE

Had a fun session in Geraldton,30 - 35 knots this afternoon on my 8m ALIBI. This is not a plug for www.newkiteboarding.com
Just spent a couple weekends in Perf. Ummmm... Hmmmm I dont think it has been a real 25knots, I only scored solid 20knots in the gusts. Got sore bloody arms from struggling around underpowered, that's the freaking first time in years!
Maybe I need a spoon of Methylethylketoneperoxide n hardn up.
Actually no need for hardner...Perth definitely has an abundance of nice girlies. (one in particular
)
Costal waters forecast today for the wild west se 20 to 30 with a 2.5m swell. Feeling refreshed after a keg of heniken with a coupla mates yestrday arvo and ready to charge this arvo![]()
Noob question;
these winds are looking pretty damn good, but aren't they cross offshore/offshore up at Pinnaroo to Ocean Reef?
which means only experienced kiters need apply?
