im keen as always, have to dust of the surfboard with straps. finally some decent sizes to use it. Anyone have a 7m i could use in the 30knt 3m swell? If you can trust me that is haha

Dustin..your always keen !! latest report is now 20-25 knots with 3-4 metre swell...tell the boys..echo,taxi,blownaway I'm sure inn for a ride

Thanks Banaboy ,I,m in an watching conditions to come good for the 9m, sat looking good.

Bugger, just remembered I have to visit the oldies on the Gold Coast.

Anyone interested in kiting 6-8foot Gold Coast??????

Echostorm, how about Coolum to Tassie is that long enough. Maybe this will be practice for your trans tasman crossing you previously mentioned. Perfect testing conditions 3-4 metre swell heavy sea's and high gusty winds.
I've just checked out the beach at Coolum and the waves are breaking at 600-800 mtrs out, but the good thing is....the waves are scattered so if you can go straight downwind ad around them, rather than jumping the first one only to land right into the next one without the power to boost for the next. Analysing this from the beach is easier than being out there !!

I'll have to sneak past the missus and tell her they have asked me to go back to work via kite and board....Coolum to Nambour (Roads Flooded) is going to tough but hey each paddock fence we'll jump em right!!

Ok thats enough rain thanx....

some sunshine would be gr8 for sat
hey Echo what about stumers to Noosa rivermouth,Now that would be interesting,I reckon it might just be doable if there is enough east in it !! wot cha think ? Its sorta cross offshore at the mouth,How cool would it be going round the headlandsI know granite bay would be smokin an be windy enough too on the outside.....guess we will have to go or we will never know....anyone game ? you know u want too

no way i'd go outside in that sort of stuff, it'll be so dirty and choppy anyway. smart money is on the rivermouths and flat water at golden beach for those of us with normal sized testicles

that's cool man i'll be flying most of the time anyway

i'm predicting it'll still be raining pretty heavily all morning tomorrow, so if you like 3m visibility and soggy kites you should be right.

on the bright side the tides will be running out all day because of the fresh so it will be really strong when its meant to be running out

How did you lads go today?

A bunch of us had a sesh at the Caloundra bar this Arvo(sat) it was good but the wind was patchy.The Swell was decent out the back and a few of us hooked into a couple of nice ones.A bit of a worry though in fickle winds with that huge swell ready to pound you on the Bar!

tommorow (Sunday) could be a goa as well!

Hope to see some of you Coolum crew down our way again some time....

Cheers

Luke

Today was seriously hardcore... I dont think i have ever been so cautious/clean whilst kitesurfing... HAHA Man... when those monsters are chasing you down and the wind is getting lighter you start to get really nervous working your kite and praying you can outrun that building sized wall as it comes rumbling towards you. A few of us had some real close calls but man it was so worth it. Only one of the nine that did the mission didnt make it back as his strut valve broke. People walking along the beach just stop and stare at the morons out there risking there lives in cyclonic surf but it was seriously one of the raddest sessions i have ever experienced. Being able to tame such an angry ocean is what I really love about kitesurfing.

At least if I crashed my 14 in this it would have been worthy of that tear ey Luke ? The 11 TD2 preformed admirably as expected.

Sounds like you boy's had an insane fun time!

Echo if you need to borrow a bigger kite just call me 0405313883 and I can lend you 14m untill the T2 comes back.

I have a lesson to do this morning and I will out myself straight after around 12pm so you should be able to get me until then.

There will defernatly be a few waranty claims coming in on monday morning im sure!(It just ripped when it hit the water!) lol!

To good to be alive on the SunnyCoast!

Cheers

Luke
