Forecast will be completely diff. for Sat.....Point Walter for you, get an initiation with razor rocks.....or try The Pond in Rocko, and as a last resort Bibra Lake can be fun.

Point walter is really bad at the mo like 1 inch shallow because of the time of year and all the narly razor rocks that tear your board & kites to peices are stickin out.

The wind is offshore & gusty and makes for a constipated session just to stay up
No one should kite there ever again or tell anyone about it either...

Especially not Wishy he might try jumpin another sandbar

For you out of town visitors - Lake Monger works well and the people who do their wakling round it seem to take more interest in watching your best moves - than other places ...

^^^Just park your car on the Fwy emergency lane, pump up your kite and walk 15m to the water ey STW?

Some nice joggy wobbly eye candy to distract from the taste of pelican poo in the water too.

He he - I laff now but I bet someone tries out Lake Monger one winter.

Kn hell - I just remembered - about 6 mths ago I saw a bloke park in the Monger Dve car park, rig up and stroll into the water with a fly fishin kit!! WTF?! He was there for pinging back n forth for 20mins before I split!

Was waiting for an angry swan to bite him on the d!ck - alas no luck.

Find a lighter, candle or whatever and burn all your chest hairs..............leave the pubes for the middle of winter. I really do hate this time of year, cold and BOM is almost always wrong.

If you want to kite this weekend, go back to the game....

Heres hoping we can get one down near sandy bay
we have a phone line available at sal sails but don't tell Laurie or he might put one there himself

Nah i think your safe..........
Laurie prefers to spin the wheel when it comes to 4casting
I have noticed he seems to like putting up BIG GREEN ARROWS in the long range 4cast and then pulling them all the way back to RED

Opps this thread will probably get locked now

I propose that he has a purple arrow when its just a hopeful guess
Imagine that everything further than a day away would be a purple haze
And while I am having a whinge how does he know what the wind is doing at Gnaraloo but has no idea what its doing here.?
