I got my new influence 134cm and 138 cm board last weeknd and tried it on water with some of my friend . the first impression is that the board graphic is so cool and the building qulaity is very good . I have rode it in 4-5 session today , the wind is around 15 knots and gusty to 18-20 at morning . the new influence board is pop out very good and go upwind . Has anybody same feeling like me on new influence board ???

Nice one Fishman. It was the chilliest day this year in Brisbane today. Offshore gusty wind too, but hasnt stopped us kiting last 5 days in a roll! How many kiters on average do you get on the beach there? We are heading up to Blue Mountains to do some snow-kiting shortly, cant wait!

Mate u are talking about the snowy mountains, the blue mountains are on the western edge of sydney. where abouts are you planning to go snow kiting? perisher or thredbo? I know both resorts pretty well and can only think of a couple of spots where snow kiting might be ok, also do u have to snowkite out of bounds? I would be surprised if it's allowed in the patroled areas

so where abouts in perisher will u be riding?. There are not too many windless days down there so there should be plenty of opportunitys 4 u. There is a big reasonably flat treeless area near the toboggan park that could be good to build some kickers and just have some freestyle type fun or maybe out the back of guthega I always thought looked good with some treeless terain, but would involve some trekking to get too, any other spots I can think of are inbounds and probably not permitted by PB. I would be interested to know how it goes as I spend a bit of time down there most winters

Nice pics fishman. Is the area good for tourists. What else can people do if they visit the area?

Did not know that they have kites in China.

around 10 kiter in shenzhen around me . but plus the rider from HK , there're more than 100 person . Kiteboarding is still new to most people in China .

The wind direction is going to change to west south from east from this month and the wind is slow down too .

hope you guys always have a good wind every week .
