How often do you get to kite a north easterly in August in Brisbane. Was a nice supprise to get it but does anyone remember ever getting one this time of year in the past.
Back in the mid 80s their were a few years that the storms were starting in late july. Nothing better than a NE before a storm, alwas getting stronger
Had a great ses today in front of the storm . Got to love the northerlys gave me my first ride since february . I am so sore but wouldnt of wanted it any other way . Lets hope that it keeps coming ![]()

Hey burkey how the hell did ya see the bitey the water was really dirty down at pialba . I was only crusing around with the incoming tide in about 2-3 foot deep water was realy smooth and i like to play on the 2 foot waves . with water so dirty you must have been nearly sitting on it to see it no wonder it gave ya a bit of a scare .
In about 30cm of water right at the beach near the rock wall. Only saw a small fin about 10m away as I turned. We often see schools of 4-5 ft reef tips when we kite at Round Island. Thankfully they always take off whenever you get near.
I was lucky enough to be at Double Island on Wed when the northerly kicked in.
Had all of DI to myself and got a good 4 hours in on my Zephyr.
Absolutely fantastic session! ![]()
Looking forward to heading up there in a couple of weeks for a few days with Kitepower. Hopefully we get a bit more wind than last year. That looks like a nice spot.
unless all that^^^ turns the arrow so it points down then we will all get excited . Bring on the northerlys so smooth and consistant no gust at all .![]()
