Cool.
Is that a wave or razor your on.
Hope everything turns out ok for you bloke.
That was a 7m razor. We had a 8m tide that would have swamped my salon and now the wide ripping roofs. Crazy
Maybe I left Queensland at the right time!! but that wind looks good. Here's what I'm looking at over here at Koh Samui. Hope Yeppoon and the rest of you fair ok.
How are the kiting conditions in Koi Samui? Spent a month in July/August 93 on the little island next door. Don't remember a breath of wind even though i was high as a kite most of the time.
Not sure if any one has seen pictures but yeppoon got hit with 300km winds and lots of homes with no roofs. Every tree on my property is in half or blown over. fa arming crazy

Got back home yesterday and the house came through the rain ok 
. Lesson one; always give your house key to somebody when you go away.
So I was in Thailand, Koh Samui and I hear I dodged a bullet so I start to relax again then at 3 in the morning I get a text and it's my neighbour saying the power is off and could be days or weeks before it comes back on... so I haven't given my key to anybody and I have 3 fridge freezers full of meat, chicken and fish
. Cut a long story short I had to get a locksmith to break-in and have a mate check the house out and luckily the power came on soon after. I'm not winging as I got off very lightly, the guys up north are in a bad way.
Triggerhappy, I think I could see that island from my room!! We were there 7 days and 2 were kiteable. Windfinder always seamed to be about one third higher than the actual so I'm happy I didn't take my kite as it would have been a bit of a waste of space. The beach also had a kite rental shop on it so it would have been easier to hire from them for a few times. Full kit: 1 hr 1400THB (55AUD), half day 2500THB (98AUD) and full day 4000THB (155AUD). We didn't go to Thailand for kiting so any time on the water would have been a bonus...

Cool story bro! This is what I came home to after they let me out of the storm shelter. The neighbors roof in the side yard, and 30 trees down out the back!
Kemp90, sorry if my post sounded flippant as it was not meant to be. Hence my comment "I'm not winging as I got off very lightly, the guys up north are in a bad way" I've lived most of my life in the NT and FNQ and been through a few of these myself and was not downplaying it but hoping to bring a bit of light heartedness to the bad situation. Maybe it was a bit early. Hope support is starting to filter thorough up there...
Hold on a sec. People apologising and making up on Seabreeze. This weather has got everyone mad.
This is my place in Rockhampton!
Got a spare $2000 for an insurance claim! Far out!
