Who wants to set up a bait car?
Get these assholes.
Treble fishing hooks under the seat covers connected with wire to the car. And a gopro hidden to capture his face.
Anyone got a spare bomb car?

have you been broken into recently or heard of it happening to others?
at least we know they don't kite or know what a kite is worth, cause there was about 4 kites on the back seat they rummaged around for the other stuff they took.
bloody scum.

Hey kitcho/simon,

Saturday is looking good for just about everyday south wind location.

The usual suspects I am sure will be at the usual Illawarra kite surfing locations.

Hey Gerry, your new new spot will be on fire. Let me know how it goes??

Sunday too light and Monday late NE.

Hey Tony
That spot down the coast a bit im going to have to chicken out on that one . Southerly swell gets huge there . Winds going to be pretty strong , I think I might go for a windsurf on the lake that day.

Hmmmm, seems the southerly is not playing ball as of 8am. Hardly anywhere on the coast with wind..

Good luck with the lake Gerry.

Thinking it's a crap wind weekend.

Maybe Surfingboye/Matt has the right idea??

Yeah the wind was late arriving but once it can on it was smoking and pushed up some solid waves, in the end I was over powered on 8m with over head sets woohoo.......

Also I can't remember the last time I saw so many windsurfer getting clean up and swimming in

Yeh , kitch and I kited the entrance at Windang in around 30 knts from 3pm , was pretty sketchy for 1st hr then wind dropped to around 25 . Much better then , ventured out through the entrance and got onto some of those waves that you mentioned Mini and yes they were solid . Rode a few right into the beach 5 to 6 bottom turns , was a nice way to end the day

Australia Day best ever.
Brunswick to Pottsville dw 20 knts and se swell..
Outer sandbank and solid low tide close outs making the passage out tricky.
Big outside peaks natural footer heaven. black rock. Swell magnet.
No others but our small group.
Best part of 20km of empty beach. 6 beers dinner and bed.

Hey Simon,

Kiting did happen today at "peggies" but f..uck you had to be quick.

Big Fred and Stumpy scored both with kites and SUP.

Bugger, I missed as well. Wind was good for work, so no major issues.

Tuesday looks the goods.. see you guys then.
