Hi guys + gals,

I'm currently enjoying the awesome conditions in Augusta on holiday with the wife. The cunning plan has been foiled by the dearest breaking her spreader bar!

Please could anyone suggest the closest shop that maybe open tomorrow or if anyone has a Dakine spreader bar gathering dust in the garage near here please Private message me, handsome reward on offer (aka cash or a few beers), anything to save the 6 hr roundtrip back to Perth.

Any help much appreciated,

Rich

Ps - Have tried Simon (lessons in Margaret's)

Rich,

I am sure Darren will be able to help you out with a new one but if not you can borrow (foc) my spare one if Allan wants to collect from my place in Nedlands on his way south. You'd need to let me know before 7:30am

Cheers

Hi swinging I have a new dakine spreader and pad here in Yangebup. PM me if needed

Hi guys,

Awesome response, picked up a spreader bar this morning from a Marg's local.
Thanks to everybody who PM'd offering help.

man made cut in the river was almost closed up about 2 months ago when I last saw it. only thing I noticed different to last year was a lot more weed stuck around the river mouth.

P.S - how close is the cape leeuwin wind reading to actual wind at Augusta? was thinking about heading down today but decided not to as the forecast looked bad...looking at the graphs now I think it could have been bad decision.

Hi Andrew,

I kited Augusta today, southerly wind around 18 knots initially, increased to 22 + by the end of the session . Probably around 15 kiters in the river - 3 plus myself on the beach.
River mouth is open.
