A few of us and some brissy kiters are thinking of meeting at nobbies this saturday for a barbie and downwinder (ie mainb to nobby's)via maxi taxis/cars. Just a bit of fun, everyone and all abilities welcomed. Spread the word to all that dont have internet.
Bring a bit of coin for taxi/ burger and beer.
Meet at the grassy area opposite santa monica/ marine pde around 1000 or when wind is up.

Good Idea Scottie

Dario, Brett, Luke and I did a Nobbies to Marina Mirage on Tues.

Great session. The Kite gods demanded a sacrifice from Dario and caused a hole in his kite after he got slammed and his surfboard was driven into the kite by the breaking wave.

Just went to shore checked the size of the hole and we continued.

BBQ Lunch will be $2 , beers and drinks will be $1, If we have over 30 people i will organize a bus for the drop off, cost should be under $10.

There is also a large surflifesaving event done this weekend as well,should look sweet with all the kiters.

wont you guys be doing your downwinder through hundreds of lifesavers finishing the paddle leg of the "cooloongatta gold"?
that might be bad publicity if anyone stuffs up or gets in the way of a finisher in front of a giant media contingent on national tv with commentators.
just a thought.
have a great day, gotta work.

I went windsurfing at Miami today, and was amazed at the 'cloud of angels' coming down the coast, I counted 35 at one point but probably missed a couple.

All very well behaved as they passed me, and quite a spectacle...

Well done guys

Thanks to everyone to helped on Saturday, it was a great day.

Photos of the day can be found at the links below, I tried to get everyone, sorry if I missed you.

I think the consensus was fairly close to 50 riders.

how long have you guys been kite surfing for? I've never even surfed in my life so don't know how long it would take me to get to a decent ability.
