Pazza

So i think I may have seen one of the first seabreezes come through yesterday at pazza. Or maybe my eyes were deceiving me :) Wasn't able to get out yesterday but I figured we should get the Pazza gang together again soon. Summer is here and hopefully some more seabreezes. Anyone else been getting out to Pazza recently?

Shoutouts to Pnuecube, Briz, Lang, Chaps and Godfather especially.

I need to get out on the water as my session at the Largs demo day involved a fine display of me losing everything I learnt and eating lots of salt water

Yeah, I know from a reliable source that at least 5 kiters were there late last Sunday afternoon enjoying 25+ knots SW-ly wind. Quite surprising, considering the Outer Harbour wind meter didn't record any worthwhile wind at the same time.

One of those kiters apparently has some shots of himself trying to jump over the boatramp carpark (or something like that). Maybe he can post some of them here?

Thanks Chaps - i am working until 5.30 and also on Saturday unfortunately and didn't put my stuff in the car I'll PM you a roster or something when I switch to early shifts at work and can get out. Hopefuly next weekend is windy

Hi SpawnofFossl

You will have to count me out until mid Jan. I had an opp on a football injury and I will be out of action.

Hope you can get a few good sessions in.

Just had a sesh, real nice but injured myself which cut it short (foot cut on rocks). Wind is still on here, but W. will prob be ok when it goes further round to SW.

Been a while since I've seen you Ryan. Yep, it was a pretty good session last weekend; a bit gusty at times, a bit weak at others for my 10, but ended up ok. Got a couple of cuts and bangs but mostly from stacking stupid dodgy jumps in the shallows.

Was a bit surprised to see how well the graphs picked up today- should have been really good if not a bit on the low side. Hope to head out tomorrow to Paz if the wind looks like picking up again, so may see you fellas there mid arvo.

Cheers, Brian

Hey Cat

I pretty much just use the Port Adelaide tide guide (the Adelaide one on sea breeze). This is pretty rough, but whenever that reads a tide of 1.0m or higher, with decent wind, Pazza seems to have water at the first channel marker pole and its as flat as- can be seriously good shallow water slicks at 1.0m. As Godfather says, there's a walk around 1km on nice firm sand, but it doesn't take long (if it's a SW sea breeze your kite helps pull you out there). Anything higher than 1.0m and it's good too- just gets a bit wavier/ choppier and the walk reduces as you'd have found this morning.

Cheers

Hey,
How did it go today (Sunday) did it pick up at all.
Hope for the ones left it did !!!!!!!!!!!

I arrived quite late but there was this stationary band of clouds over Parham that I think was killing all the wind. I'm guessing the wind fluctuated around 10kts average and kiting was s**t.
I was hoping for the cloud to move out of the way but it didn't. Only just before the sunset the sun got under it and at about 7.30pm it started blowing steady 15+ knots. I got out just beforte 8pm. Not quite the usual Parham weather.

Great stuff Hao! That just quadrupled the style factor at Parham. Hope to see you lads there sometime.

Nope, didn't last.

Hopefully the wind fires up early as it looks like it isn't going to pick up until about 8pm ish.

I will probably head out tomorrow arvo from 5ish. It will either be at Paz, or Northern metro if there's too much W in it.

Who's doing Parham today? Ive got all day...

Yeah the old boy said it was a sweet 20 to 25 knots and he was the only one out.

Will be there this afternoon - hovering around 15knots
