Almost too much! Guys out on 4.5 / 5m kites .. these sequence of cold fronts has been amazing....

Maybe time to introduce the new "brown" arrows for speeds > 40 knots?

Brown arrows...... ....love to know if anyones been out today....

Yesterday was OK in the afternoon at cott. Enough beach to launch within regs at Salvado st. Still too much W in the wind tho.....I think the best winter sessions are those with a true NW wind ahead of the front then the solid SW after it.

Can we blame the amount of westerly in this one on global warming??

Im with poor relative

Nasty winds Angry Ocean Right gear for conditions & safety minded !!!

My 20 + yrs Pole dancing and wave riding & jumping experience makes all this weather (except for today) great fun

Sunday off Hillarys was just awesome with my 9m correctly set, full speed kicking off the top of vertical swell & yeeee Haaaa 4 hours of non stop fun

The highlight of the day was when a massive sea lion with big ferocious teeth (well a baby one actually ) popped up & played around me for a bit as i had slowed down to watch it and the backdrop to it all was the brightest double rainbow I have ever seen, against black clouds on one side with the sun behind me.... pure magic
