Windang was as gusty as ever...

Was not worth the drive today... Forecast was well off! Anyone have any other good spots around the area that are nice and flat to try out?

Where abouts did you launch from? I tried a water launch at Prinbee bay to no success...

Yeah me and terry tried launching there yesterday very difficult terry ended up doing a water launch but wind was to inconsistent

Hey guys I made a facebook page to easier keep in touch with Illawarra Locals. So if your keen have a look, like the page, load up some shots and get posting on what your doing here is the link http://www.facebook.com/IllawarraKiteSurfing

Yeah just a thought seen as no ones doing anything similar so if you haven't already get on it upload some pics and let everyone know what your up to

Ha ha Andrew you forgot the nuclear waste dump and the sulfur mill. What about the sewer treatment plant and the slaughter yard. Turn it up.

Hey mad shots there. Would be some good video too. Will have to try that camera angle as shots from the board mount are very limited. Kitch

Same day as fingerbones shots but a bit later Taken between 2.30 pm and 3.30 pm westerly was around 30 knts then Captured them from video footage ,will try and get a vid together.

Slim chance at this stage but a chance. Will noy know until about 9am.

Terry your right about it being a terrible place to launch in SW and Southerly is even worse.Its very sheltered there with wind from the south. I wouldnt even try launching on the grass. Best to set up and someone launch kite at least 30m west of the shoreline in clean wind.If you want to self launch in this wind direction set up as normal,tie a rope or strap with a hook on it to one of the most west tree trunk of the main cluster,take bar and hook chicken loop to hook of strap on tree,pick up kite and set it at most westerly point on the water so it sits there with lines tensioned and slightly downwind of window.Make sure its sitting there nicely without launching ( most kites sit there nice ) go back to bar and hook into chicken loop without touching steering lines ,then launch.This has worked for me a number of times . I will run ya through it next time we catch up. As for getting the trees removed a mate of mine and I have had representatives from council and The Lake Illawarra Authority there for an hour a few years ago and all they talked about was stabilizing the foreshore with more casaurina pines. It wont be long before the lake will be surrounded by these trees and you wont even see the lake.

Thanks mate, that would be good! Next time I'm down that way will let you know and see where abouts you are. Cheers....

you forgot the junkies in the purri burri carpark... kited there once during the week in a wild westerly, my brother was building this house on the water front across from the golf course.. sees this kite scoot by before lunch on a week day so figures it's me cause i kite and didn't have to work. as a joke grabs an apprentice and heads upto the car park to let all the tyres down in the van, knowing that i'd know it was him and have him come and inflate them again. he gets there and sees these shady looking dudes trying to look through the tinted black windows of the silver bullet.. by chance the apprentice is a mixed marital art freak with constantly black eyes and swollen cheek bones, he goes to task on the lake heights junkie freaks. wind drops out on me while i was down near the van park and i have to pack up and walk all the way along the foreshore back to primbee, and i've never kited that part of the lake again i don't care how clean the lake gets, that area will forever be stinky mud and dead water though those photos gez posted look mad

Hey guys , Anyone planning to kite Primbee over the weekend , If so when Thanks saul

Its on tomorrow. Lookin good Who's keen? Kitch
