Hi

Am looking for anyone interested in taking some jump pics at Melville this arvo, there is a jetty which is great for taking pics from, just interested in a couple of high jump shots ...

most of my friends kite so it never tends to happen

You'll certainly have a good arvo for it Clay, it would be worth having a look at the photo's if you get any.

Onshore and 30+kts.

Clay are you talking about Majestic Point carpark?

Some gnar gusts on the river atm. I might check the point out later this arvo around 5ish hopefully the wind will have gone SW and sorted itself out a little.

Hey

Was going to launch from the cnr of frazer rd & addross rd Applecross then tack up to Majestic point but it went SW so decided it was going better at Pelican point.

Had my 10m Eclipse Thruster up & with the 30 - 40knot squalls, made for some huge jumps & airtime but unfortunately (late notice i guess) couldnt get anyone to snap some happy pics bugga

If anyone knows someone with a reasonable camera n zoom who is willing to freeze and get rained on (only sometimes ) and willing to swap pics for a carton..

give them a buzz for me.

P.s No way would you catch me launching on Melville beach in that wind...

Cheers

Hi Clay, was that you I saw at Peli last night, you'd just come in from a sesh?

Was a wild night, went to the beach for a look but wussed it.

Watched a couple of guys have fun at Cott instead.

Hey gaz

Thanks for offering a launch yesterday... it was gettin a little hairy being torpedoed 50m downwind with that 10 if I wiped out a landing makes you feel alive though

Was wondering how youd get on - down the ocean, since you wisely wussed out, I reckon you take some pics next time lol

On the other hand, If I take that Nice Lady at Melville beach some flowers (that werent cut by kitelines in her garden ) maybe she could be encouraged to take up kiteboarding photography, sell them to make a few quid & have her as our No. 1 Beach front supporter !!!

P.s No use cant pimp me out to get in the good books either

Cheers
