lol 
you decide
Lately myself & a 'few' others noticed when the wind pumps - Most of the keen,eager, bitten by the kiteBug, addicted Kiters,
are nowhere to be seen !
We also have taken note how many Poleys are blasting away with hardly a kite to be seen.
Conclusion = Kiters are more worried about Fashion shorts over wetties rather than toughening up & getin out Rain Hail or shine because theyv got 'the kiteing BUG' !!
I'll be the one Kiteing this arvo in 25knots with the Poleys
This arvo? I'm packing the ute now, hoping for morning as well as arvo.
edit: the biggest part of the front is at Mandurah now, I expect a +30kt gust to be careful of in an hour or so. 
Woohoo 
Thats 2 for the kiters - 80 for the poleys
Those 30knot gusts are great for Elevator jumps at full speed
Wat you talkin about!!! There's Been kiters out at Pinaroo every day this week lol. It's freakin COLD!!!
Not to mention the Sharks at Hilary's the last few days too...
Posting live from a rocking ute in the Scarborough carpark, I can tell you that me and those backwards flying seagulls are all looking forward to the strong southerlies behind the front as per the Mandurah, Safety Bay and Garden Island graphs. Woohoo!
My gear's stuck on another continent... Buuut if I had it I still wouldn't go out. Too ****ing cold. And rain? No thanks.. Bring on summer and steady seabreezes and I'm in
Hmmm...
Garden Island 10:42
Average 43 knots
Gusts 53 knots.
I'd call that smart, not soft.
If only i had a marshmellow for my warm milky milo right now...
I will be hitting it up somewhere this afternoon once the gusty ****e conditions have slackened of a bit. So SaveTheWales did you go out? Did you enjoy the 50knt gusts and Rain?
What will elizabethb think (or was she there?)
I was out at Scarborough this morning at 10am when my life flashed before me!
I have damaged 2 kites, 2 surfboards, 1 harness and 1 set of lines in one week now!
Maybe if I was wearing board shorts over my wetsuit, my harness would have been fine!
Gotta love winter kiting
Goin soft ?????? were they ever hard ????
Harden up girls, try a Vic winter of 11 degree water 10 degree air, glad spring is here and now a mild 13 degrees.
rigged up this morning, but am glad I was 'soft' and hung around waiting for the front to pass. what a brilliant session this arvo!! perfect cross shore and nice juicy waves, sun in the sky and not a drop of rain in sight... with only one other to share it with up at north scarbs. I am a happy man
A touch gutted I was not out there today but It gave me a chance to earn some cash to put toward the new 'Fleet' - Those SW cant be to far away now! Bring it on!
you decide
You mean agates right? But yeah, the afternoon session was much better than the morning session.
I'm so broken I can barely open the door of the beer fridge. 
was out at pinnaroo this morning and saw this real nasty front coming in. Thought i would play it safe and dropped the kite and waited to see. Lucky i did cause it was mad when it hit. Sand storm on the beach pelting rain 50knt squalls and after it passed couldnt even get the kite of the beach. It got buried by sand. What a laugh just glad i went with my gut instinct and came in when i saw those gnarly clouds. And yes these three waveski paddlers were going backwards so were the seagulls! Ive got sand in my eyebrows scalp and eyes.
I thought that might toughen use up a bit
I was actully talking about all spots too having driven (on Vacation) around most & not just one day !
So the hand full takes the count to 20 for kiters - 80 for Poleys ha ha
Keep Hardening up Honeys 
It's funny, I saw a heap of kiters at Scarbs and not a single poley. Were all 80 of them at the more protected beaches?
nah Pat, they all went to Dutch inn with 3foot (about 20 out there). the 8' closeout washing machine at scarbs need a kite to boost over to get out.
