Ill try Mandurah tomorrow. PW sucks, flysurfers suck, Windsurfers suck, Dave Spruce rules

Had a good hour or so.

I would have to agree with you Space that kiting too far downwind is asking for trouble! There is a boat channel next to the Yacht Club which is off limits to kiting. Surely every once in a while someone gets caught down there, but let us all please try and keep it to an absolute minimum. Usually it is some of the best riders in the country down there and they are dam capable people who are most interested in preserving access.

PW is flucky and dangerous (rocks, on/off wind, people, boats etc.). Everyone should be able to enjoy the magic of PW; and it is selfish and inconsiderate behaviour to take risks beyond one's ability.

PW can punish.

I was there.

Dont know why beginners go there. It is such a tough place to kite gusty rocks, limited space etc etc Stuff up and your walking for three-four hours wet and cold....further up river, Attadale foreshore is safer, only trees to get caught up in there.

Treat the place with respect, if your going to come in at the end of the spit, come in walk back up then go again. Dont play in the Boat channel dont go too far into the no wind zone and everything that Gruzitskinski says.
Act like a dick and Pt walter will treat you accordingly.

did anyone pick up my pump yesterday left it behind. Grey North one.

Help. Here's a huge question for Perth kiters at the moment: do I take Thursday off this week & risk the green arrows don't develop/don't last, or wait for Friday & the risk of being blown to buggery & back in the forecast storms???

Opinions please?

start your sick time from now.
You just never know

Kited eddies at Lano on an easterly on monday.

Small swell but clean waves and a good cross-off wind direction (although pretty gusty). Managed a few waves before downing the kite and the lines twisting up. I thought I was absolutely done for but managed to get it all together (without any problems with the lines!!) before coming in.

It definitely can be done, but I strongly recommend a boat!
