very very nice...

bevo i think you've just cemented your self in my mind as a wave rider for sure...

If you've never dropped your kite, your not trying hard enough !
To hear your knee go POP ruins a kite trip !

boys trip too gnaraloo, i only see carl in those photos, and yes he was ripping it up. and i got it all on video. you will have to wait till it gets released. but pete this seems more like an ad for addiction than showing photos. 10 points for cleverness.

nah your right pete but you have to admit it was a pretty clever idea. i guess anyone else would have done the same well done.

how did ya find out. not sure exactly at this stage might do some more filming this summer if i can be bothered sitting on the beach and not kiting otherwise it might be a bonus movie on Fire Away 2. shannon has got some sick footage so keep an eye out 4 that probly come out end of summer after nationals etc.

Size is good , but length is what it is about .
When you are doing up to a dozen bottom turns on ONE wave , you understand the term "Jelly legs"

well done, some nice photos to inflate someones ego, how to f*** a great sailing spot up, its hard enough as it is with the windsurfers, and surfers who were there first without encouraging hundreds of kook kite sailors who look at those shots of a small day and think they can ride it. When we get banned from this private spot remember what you've done.

Yeah
How dare you even think about kiting Cassidys private beach.

My pole, I kite, and yes gnaraloo has been filmed, photo,s etc over the years but most, like the pro's Naish, Mckercher etc have never blatently pushed the name, as I said when we(kiters are banned remember your crap attitude).

Lucky for those of us that enjoy wave riding @ Gnaraloo it is a long way to go for most and is pretty extreme so it's unlikely to become much more crowded than it has been for the last few years ... unless of course the "Save Ningaloo" people keep publicising in the mass media, demand continues to grow for places like Coral Bay and CALM open the coast road from Carnarvon all the way through to Ningaloo! But then again maybe people will spread out more along that amazing piece of coastline? At the end of the day Gnaraloo will always be for advanced riders only and that in itself will be a limiting factor.

As far as "secret spots" are concerned - ask yourself how did you find out about it? Someone told you about it eh! If you really want a secret spot then go and discover a new one. There's a place just North of Point Cloates on Ningaloo station called Fraser Island - if you look at the contintental shelf drop-off it looks amazing - if anyone gets the chance to explore it before I do please let me know it it goes off and send me some pix :-)

I spent my whole life travelling around the world and it amazes me the number of people that are aggressively territorial - in many cases they have not even earned the right to be called "locals". People need to learn to be tolerant and to share - follow the local and universal rules - get in the line up, don't hog the waves and enjoy the experience together. Nobody "owns" any spot or even any particular wave - that doesn't mean you go dropping in though - be considerate of others!

We are spoiled in WA with thousands of kilometers of fantastic coastline - aggressive bull**** just spoils it for everyone - besides it's way more fun to have a beer afterwards with some new friends that share the passion :-)
