Hi Guys,
Need some help on where to Kite on an easterly wind, new to Perth.
Cheers,
Point Walter works as does Saftey Bay. Easterlies are rarely clean wind so be prepared for survival kiting.
I saw 7 kites out there this morning. Looked like they were tearing it up.
Sketchy launch zone but no razor rocks.
And there are a lot of trees not too far downwind of the butter zone so Cabrinhas are not recommended.
Yeh plenty of parks in mandurah too, just watch out for the glass left by the bogans the night before.
Anyone got some more info on Bibra Lake??? Where is launch zone and is it legal?? (protected wetlands)
Kiting is encouraged by the council lately at bibra there is an overcrowding of rare and endangered species of birds that need to be scared off/purged.
Launching wise best way i found is set ur kite in the reeds so it holds then just walk out into the mud till your deep enough and just turn into the wind.
Walking out in mud, endangered birds, tress in the way of self-launching/land - no thanks... sounds a nightmare.
^^^ helps if you are a smoker as well, so you can burn the leeches off after a wicked session on that magic butter!!!
I was thinking the sarcasm was lost over the inter-webs, but then i read it again and realised there is no real way it could have been taken any other way
yeh higher human communication such as sarcasm is hard to get across. This is why so many people get fired up on this and other forums. Also the old internal work email that is misconstrued.
"Bibs" is legendary
