Get there Saturday. Wind looks average for kiting but good for fishing. Ill be there for a month, if you are up that way come and say hi. Dodgy old troop carrier, 2012 black/yellow/red C4s and blue 2013 edges. Ill be doing some photography too, check out some of my work at http://www.swagmansstudio.com.au (tourism>cocos is the most appropriate)
Fingers crossed that the forecasted SW comes in tomorrow, If anyones in town and wants an update of the wind on the West side, we are based at the lighthouse caravan park, I'll post from midday on our facebook page as to how its looking www.facebook.com/exmouthkitecentre
Although the SW did arrive a bit late, its the first one I've seen thats made it north past the Tantabiddi boat ramp.
I am flying a microlight for Gav, at Birds Eye View microlights so I get to see whats happening from the air.
Frothing for some action....
relax everyone it will be here when it's ready.
By the way it's good to see a bit of a se,er this morning. Today might be a bit better than yesterday.
Anyone up in Exmouth on Monday want to send some pics in from sandy bay!!!!!!....Looks like the Sou westers are going to start rolling in like clockwork !!!!
Check your hire car policy. Beyond the Lighthouse caravan park is a no-no for some and others will charge a fortune if you hit anything ocean side. There are kangaroo's under every bush at dusk and dawn, so take it easy.
Looks like its on monday, just in time, yeeew, going to need that epirb where I'm going 
I'm going to drive up on friday the 12 th of September and come back wednesday the 17 th of sept.Anyone want to share the fuel cost up there.I have a comodore wagon.plenty of room for kite gear.Just a short one as I have work commitments!.Im frothing at the forecast up there.....rahhhhhhhh!

Pics like this are rare for me , got to go deep more often
^^ Nah didn't find anything for the sharks to eat although I think I got bitten off by a blowie twice and spent heaps of time trying to find new ground.
I think next trip might have to be chasing bananas in the shallows you know where

hi, no1 rule imo is don't get involved teaching family, tom and jana have a kiteschool set up in Exmouth, being locals they know plenty of great spots to teach the kids, leaving you to go ripping, toms school is iko and uses the latest gear, I think he trades as exmouthkite centre, drop him an email and he will fill you in with the best spots, ive been kiting for a long while and if you asked me for the best spots to learn or progress Exmouth would be up there, enjoy
as for fishing wilderness island, for allround fishing its the best spot , took my dingy over in the early years, we had high 30knts all week, good kiting , amazing fishing, and adventure, gets pretty lonely in the middle of the gulf on a dingy, blowvember we named it
Got to get this work week smashed and out of the way.Come on friday as it is time to high tail it to sunny and windy exmouth!

Been promising myself I will get up here for a number of years so finally done it and cannot wait.
