Hi Folks

I will be on Nth straddy for 6 days starting on Tuesday and am wondering what sort of terrain/waters I'll find. I'm staying at the Anchorage resort on East Coast rd I think?

How bl00dy good has the Qld wind been in the last few days 18-25 kts 24 kn hrs!!

I am transport challenged and hoping to catch a NE on the main beach between Amity point and Lookout point. Or most likely a SE on the east side of the island just south of Pt lookout.

Q: Are there any busses or other transport?

Q: What is the water/beach like on the East side? ie: clean open beaches or swampy sort of action.

Q: How does a 13m C kite and 136 board for a 83kg intermediate sound?

Cheers folks

Struth mate, I might have to re-think my need for that bag on Saturday.

Also looks like I might be staying there for two weeks instead of one now. Three weekends...

The old one still works with a heap of sticky tape...

Upside: You are no doubt hangin out to do a downwinder along the East Coast or a day at The Pin?!?

Downside: You won't be lending me your travel bag...


Ummm... what exactly is it that works with a heap of sticky tape?

Geez I thought I was seeing things looking at the Brisvegas graphs a couple of days ago.. 7 days with the wind varying only a few knots and constant from SE 24/7!!! Crikey - all that wind and Liz to boot!! I spoze Pat does equalize a bit though...


Speaking of style and panache... VB and (I assume) Reli are the epitome of style, grace and composure.. if you suffer from torretts and have experienced a hard bump on the melon that is! Let me guess "Groove is in the heart" was playing?


Ahem... Straddy info anyone?

haha ahh well downwinders from the Pin are nice, but mmmMMmm... We do Vic Pt to Wello which is a nice one- but ur a WA guy, so I'm certain that u'd prefer The Pin --->> downwinder LOL

My other kiteboard bags if you want one. The zips are shot but if you get everything in and tape it up it will do the trick.

Bewdie!! I never leave home without a flat roll of Nashua Gaffa!! Really - it's true.

Might leave a bit of sticky residue? Is that cool? It's good anyway as i was a bit nervous about taking your as yet unused new bag on a Jetstar flight.. Bl00dy baggage gumbies!

Are you off Sat?

Wouldn't be the first bit of sticky residue left lying around...

Nah that's cool, I've taped them up for plane flight before. Do you want to come pick it up at mine tonight or Saturday morning? They're pretty much the only options left.

Like maybe you neglect your 4 kids to go kiting all the time? Or that you won't volunteer to drive a poor tourist all over Straddy to the perfect kite location!?



Yo Pat - might have to pick up tonight. Is after 8.30 ok? Sat I am heading up to Lanno, so can swing by in the AM but not sure exactly the time.


Burger!! I stuffed the days up so can't make the WAKSA shinny but you are welcome to drink my 2 beers!!
