Sup

I'm WA aswell though I'm a bit far from you. I have a car and if fuel costs are shared, that just makes it easier.

I have just hit exams and go alto stuff to do after, one being kiting as much as humanly possible!!

im generaly kiting anywhere between safety bay and trigg beach. I know some one in the same situation as you in Murdoch, we have since team up on this forum!!

with 3 of us we can go further for kiting!!!

Holy crap what an awesome day. Overpowered on the 10 even at nearly 100kgs. A switch from 25 to 20m lines helped reign in the power and makes the 10 super fast. I had beach 2 to myself for a solid two hours.

I'll be heading out again tomorrow. If anybody is keen shoot me a PM. I'm starting to get tired of kiting by myself. Not too fussed where. Probably Woodies or Saftey Bay and I can drive.

Cool!!! I was out at Pinaroo Point. Had the time of my life and gave a friend the kite bug. She will be joining the kiting community as soon as budget allows!!!

Also I want to start like a noob crew. got plenty of people together now almost to the point where i need another car!!

I total there are about 4/5 people 6 if I include Janja. So yeah some wone with another car would be good!

I found pinaroo to be really choppy, but still had a ton of fun.

ApatheticEnd : Pm me if your interested in starting a group together, im sure we will have a ball!!

Sure man. I get out any time I'm not working and the wind is up. Definetly still a beginner. I can kite upwind and starting to throw a few decent boosts but that's all. I'll PM my number. I'm hapy to offer a lift to anyone who needs it.

Will be heading out today as soon as the wind picks up. I'll probably head to Melville if it's strong enough there or Woodies if it's not. If anyone else is keen for a kite today than shoot me a PM and I'll check them before I go or ring my mobile if you've got the #.

It's looking like it'll be a little light for Melville tomorrow. Unless you are tiny or are on a 12m+, I'd head eleswhere.

I went to melville today and it ws totally frustrating on my 10. Just not enough kite to get me through the lulls. I'm going to Woodies tomorrow.

Damn dude I wish ha-ha I am at work! till 5pm

:/

I am looking at the breeze graphs for the weekend but I am guessing they look too messy for any decent kiting, especially the direction.

Chuck a sickie. Or even better, go in inthe morning and let the boss know you've got some kind of appt in the afternoon.

Heading out again tomorrow. Had such a sick session today before smashing myself hard enough to lose a contact. Tried for a bit with one but it was tripping me out. Packing spares from now on!

If there is any wind Saturday might go to lancelin.

There are a few places that work in SSE-SE. Check out the WAKSA site guide. I'll head to Saftey Bay if the wind sorts itself out.

Gonna try to knock off early and head to Melville for 4 or so. Probably not much chance of getting off earlier than that.......
