I finish work at 4 tomorrow morning and will head to either st kilda or Altona, so will let you know whats happening with the wind...

Came in too late for me. Was really looking forward to an early morning session

What a great session we have had at Altona today! This was my longest session so far, starting as early as 10 am and couldn't stop and pack up till 4 pm when I felt completely shattered. As a beginner kier started only this March, I can't think of any better wind in my local beach than today, pretty steady and high as needed.

I was on myself for most of the time. Peter arrived earlier but didn't stay for long, apparently due to work commitment. Jason then came in the afternoon, retrieved his steamer, and had quite a short session. We shared a good laugh on his boozed up kitesurfing last day. He also commented on how the wind and sky have improved. He missed out the best part though. After 2 pm the tide was getting up and the wind picked up to around 25 knots till I felt slightly overpowered with my 11m Crossbow. Most of our fellow kiters didn't as they started gathering after work. At the end of the day there were just more than a dozen of us kiting along the bay.

I felt sorry for one of our experienced friends who quit early after breaking his rib. He is an experienced kiter, however that landing was not the best and the bar of his modified harness was the culprit to blame. Unfortunately he has to stay out of the water till spring season. Wish him a quick recovery.
