As I quietly ponder my navel and check into the forum, something I haven't done for a while, one wonders why there are no posts about gear, wheres the wind, moan, groan, etc, etc. Sounds like the winds in and everyone is going nuts. Maybe your all like me, by the time you get back from work, kite 'til sunset, look after loved ones and chill the last thing you feel like doing is sitting on a computer and sending messages.
The last 3 weeks have been all time and I dig this community, finally got to sit down and talk about it.
We had 30 kts again today, how much can the body take before you say bugger it I'm taking a day off. Then the wind is back on and you just have to go.
Theres a couple of French Kiters up here at the moment, they kite from morning to dusk, have been watching them kite MM all morning and then Denham all arvo, how does the body take that much punishment, its a great thing.
To all the gang who have been up here for the past few weeks (and you know who you are!) the experience continues and we will find beautiful places to kite and expand this crazy thing.
I look forward to seeing you all at Christmas.
Aloha

Lurchie.....you are the luckiest man alive.

Winds coming to the City though, still feels like Winter.

The Gravity Games were awesome.

Hey Gasman, that must have been you BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOsten big time next to the Gravity Comp last Sunday..............yo da man

Miss that kite trecking.

Hey Nick!
Yeah, wanted to see some of those handle passes from above!
Any fool like me can get some height (and there's no fool like an old fool), but how do you do a technical massive boost in 30 knotts?? Did anyone see Adam the Rat's jump in a big squall just before he lost his kite ..... should have been a separate pay cheque just for the jump.

hi ian...have u got any photos of that down winder we did from eagle bluff? im doing up a dvd of our trip and dont have any of that 20k blast- a few pics would be great if u got any. i will send a copy of the dvd to u when i finish.....dont expect much though...it will be more like "national lampoons kiting vacation..the grimwalds go to denham" than a real kiting movie......boy do we all have to learn some tricks!!! thanks ...steve

thanks ian....dvd should be a bit of a laugh.

will make sure everyones doing kiteloops and handle passes for next years trip movie!!!

Steve - I've put the disk in may car, so next time at beach remind me.
