Any one up for a downwinder thisarvo ? Could I share a lift with someone or could I jump in with some others who are going ? I will be at Brighton about 4.45.pm ???? TOAD ..
I'm keen on doing my first downwinder soon. I'm able to kite upwind (I know not really a requirement) and I'm independant. Would anyone with a bit more experiance care to let us tag along on the next one?
Yer you can tag allong ApatheticEnd , have you kited much in the surf ??? As far as Requirements go , if you are capable of riding in the surf and are compitant kiter ,No worries .. Get in touch and we will go this sundy 14th
Forgot to mention I just looked at the charts and it looks like it will be getting up to 25-or more knts .Not knowing your weights or details or your experience so I will only be guessing but you will need a smaller kite . 9m or less ... ??? What sort of kite or kites do you ride ????
I'm keen to hook up for some more downwinders, either city to Brighton or leighton to Brighton...or other. Pm me when your going and I'll meet you there.
75KG 9m octane 2010, im am getting a 7 meter octane 2010 soon.
exp: i have just started traveling upwind properly. Have started kiting at pinaroo point, the surf is not too big though, i was fine there. i have kited in the surf at Scarborough beach once, i was ok, though i could to go upwind at that stage.
i cant go out fo too long atm , :( exams :(
but after the 19th i really want to get into it as much as i can!!
Yeah I'm keen for sure. I've got to head out of town for a few days for work but I'll be back late next week. I've hacked around a little bit in knee-waist high beachies but not really waves per se. I'll maybe look for a day with little swell and mellow(ish) wind.
I'm about 96kgs and I've got 7/10/12m kites. I can hold down an edge on the 10m in like 25 and heavy chop no problem. One benefit of being a fat bastard.
Oh well
