Well?

Yep sure makes it tricky to learn this sport

Unpack, wash off all salt and sand, clean, scrub, neatly refold, lubricate, restack and organise ALL kite or windsurf gear in the car/shed.garage/spare room so it looks like new. It is sure to be w***y the next day in the same way it rains when you clean/wax the car. But never, never mention the 'w' word - the gods are listening. Failing that, head to beach, pour a beer into sea for Neptune.

If all else fails use one of these next time!

Rubbish there will be SB tomoz, otherwise i will get flamed and deserve it
Am packing gear ready for tomora arv

I've been pretty pleased with the season here in Newcastle. Sure, it's been an unusual year & there's been plenty of sailing in the rain, but we've had pretty regular southerlies & loads of good swell.

Don't trust the predictions if there are clouds around...good or bad, it will be different. Been getting plenty

Hey mate, my heart really bleeds for you. Try us "east coasters" who have had the worst summer, well that I can remember anyway. Lucky if we have had 1 or 2 kites with waves greater than 2'.

Its actually the fifth year in a row of ordinary summers and little wind but agreed it is the worst of them (when measureed by NE sea breezes and sunny days that are not as humid as Darwin,tho i must say when there has been wind there has often been great waves here in newcastle NE and S) and very tricky /nigh impossible for beginners.
So here's some advice, its earn serious brownie points time and don't complain you get 5 years worth of east coast wind in a month .Don't even talk about kiting and don;t venture to the beach in the forlorn hope of a kite .If you go it has got to be for non kite related activities .Do all the jobs and things that have been put off due to DOW.

1. Virgins are getting real hard to find.
2. Well, ones of suitable quality anyway.
3. The Council no longer allow fires on the beach and we all know that's where you have to burn your boards.
4. Don't waste it by pouring your beer into the sea. I'm sure nobody likes their beer watered down 1:1,000,000,000,000.....
5. I realised late last night that Phil aka puppet could be Huey himself, but prob has been too busy with his two shops of late. Makes sense, see?
6. Is this a ploy by Laurie to increase Seabreeze whinge traffic for his advertisers? Can't be sure but let's burn him anyway!!!!
7. Maybe its the SUPpers. Burn them.

FIRE! FFIIRRREEE! RAAAAAARRRRGGGHHH!!

...ahem, yea... Some nice regular seabreezes would be really good.

LOL what is everyone complaining about :)

We are getting some good sea breezes in Melbourne this week after the recent storms. It's the luck of the draw. Overall summer has been good, enough to need a rest between sessions. I would love to kite at Geraldton though.

Hey Daavy the only sacrifice you need to make is a bit of fuel money and time to travel, I just had four days off and was on the 5 or 7 for at least 3 hours everyday.
sat contacio's, sun lancelin, mon-tues wedge!!!!
Must admit it doesn't look to flash for the next few days but hey I've gotta work anyway, if I wasn't I'd be hitting the South Coast it was 30+ knots all day today at Cape Leeuwin/Augusta.
