you've just had your arse severly spanked by a 12m bowkite and you stand, tea-bagging on the beach, where your board has washed in... only to have the board "roll" 20m up the beach in the wind!
when half the yachts in the marina had their had their sails and biminis ripped to shreds, everyone's sketchy about it being triple overhead and it'll be stronger tomorrow. ![]()
When you look out the window to check to see if the wind has come up and you see the dog flappin` on the end of his chain![]()
...when all of the seabreeze W.A. wind graphs peak at 50 knots and then fall suddenly silent as they are blown off their mountings ![]()
![]()
![]()
...when you have to wear a full length steamer, boots, gloves and motor cycle helmet in high summer at Scarbs to prevent layers of skin being removed as you try and pump up.
...when you pull up in the carpark at Scarbs and find waves breaking against the ashphalt only to find out every grain of sand has been blown to Hillaries and the beaches are gone....and that Hillaries "Dunes" are now covered in motocross bikes, 4WD's and dune buggies ![]()
Then you need a Halo 7.0 ![]()
you pick your bar up after unravelling your lines to untangle them and find out that your allready overpowered!
when you blow out your lines then go back to launch and can't find your bar cause its covered in sand ![]()
when ur flyin a bow kite and u pull down on the bar to see how windy it is and suddenly ur 20 feet in the air ![]()
When you weigh 90kgs, you're on your 8m fully depowered and you're still getting pulled downwind off your edge. (That's why I just went down to get myself a 5m)
D
when u look outside to see if the wind has picked up to find thet all of the trees have been knocked over ![]()
when u try and launch a kite and instead of the kite going into the tree the tree goes into the kite
wen your pissed off because you only had enough money four 1 kite so you brought a kite that was good for modarat breezes and you coudnt go out so you had to sit on da beach and watch!!
When some hot chick has cooked you dinner and is keen for anything and all you want to do is get out of there.
!!Maybe not!!
when you are a newbie and you have been up and down waiting for +15knots and all off a sudden you start boosting and want to keep going even though the sun has gone over the horizon. Holy sh$t I Hope you guys remember the first time you lofted, I can't sleep, just thinking about the next time out there in 20 knts

When there's not enough sand on the beach to keep your 9m from flying away.

When Skidsys missus rocks up and she is fu%$ing pi$$3d off because he is late for dinner again
when theres a cyclone off shore and you and your mates try and kite it..
1st attempt.. 35-40knots 6m kite.. FAILED we ended up hiding behind our boards because the rain and sand hurt so much..
2nd attempt.. wind died off to 25-36 knots.. 8m kite's AWSOME sweet as boostin sesh.. only proplem was the squalls coming thru with the rain.. ment we coulnd'nt see more then 5m ahead and you couln't look anywhere but downwind cause of the rain.

if your talking about the 5 knot limit and others
unlike boating (speed boats), there is no speed restictions just the same as small yachts. there are a whole number of exemptions for kiters in the rule book.
