ashame about work but you don't live that far away do you the weekend prediction was looking good when I looked this morning Mark, but then it looks dead now... but are they ever right! I haven't been out since we went out that sunday arvo about 2-3 weeks ago... so I am thinking taking a friday off work sometime soon and heading down to the cableskipark at Logan so at least then I will know how to stand on the board and balance After totally embarassing myself there by falling off I bet- but we all fall off when we start at least...

yeh spend as much time at the cable as you can afford - it will pay off big time. once september hits the good forecasters return and we will start getting those steady afternoon seabreezes... not long now!

ps - the guys at the cable are really good at giving instructions for first timers - you'll be riding on your first session

ah thanks Mark... good idea! Then once the season kicks in I'll be up and going fingers crossed..

Might invest in a monthly pass because by the looks of things-- no wind lately ahh fewww... glad the guys there will help me... I envisioned myself being dragged front ways over the board half a dozen times...

Because I am a 'girl' how long do you think I could stay there for? Just the hour visit or get the day pass... Maybe the guys who think I can't hack it underestimate my strength

the cable is hard on your arms, upper back and shoulders, whereas you will notice your kiting will work your lower back and thighs. the more you ride either the easier it becomes and you dont feel it anymore. that said, buy a 1 hour pass to start and see how you feel. 1 hour is enough for me, i get bored any longer than that - kiting it definately aint!

ohh that's it. Your holding onto the cable, whereas kiting its hooked into the harness. darn.

Tell me about it -my thighs and stomach from leaning back pulling against the kite has really hurt sometimes-its like a hard sit-up... Especially walking backwards with the kite into deeper water - really works your legs and thighs... Then I assume riding unhooked like Ryan does would be similar to the effects of cable...

Thanks Mark, I'll see how it all goes with the cable, and it may be better just buying a 1hour or daily pass compared to a monthly pass... When I can get time off work that is... Seeing all my exams are now done... and 6 weeks working holiday now I love uni holidays...

To save your arms just take your harness to the cable park

Now thats a great idea Shannon!... apart from that fact that I am learning to stand on the board, and if I hooked it into my harness I fell off, I could travel around and around still hooked in... I want to come out of it alive... good idea if I knew what I was doing though Cheers

Looking at this hehe... Looks like the seabreeze forum is becoming a IRC or MSN chat channel. People are so desperate for wind (or just company) that they check every 30 min!! And ye I talking about you two elizabethb and bondo (Maybe just bored of exams like me)

Anyway I prey for good wind every night before I go to bed, but it seems that nobody is listening

Cheers
Kris

PS: elizabethb you were looking for movies once check this one out. This is (nearly) what i'm going home to in 3 weekshttp://www.kitefilm.com/video/arctic-kite_summer_2004.wmv

What happened to the South Sandwich Islands?

Looks like some wind in the Free State this weekend, maybe, then some tradewinds at Sodwana for the 5 day kiteboarding safari next weekend . Still no takers? There's still a couple of seats left.

Pity about the state of oranges. Where's the 3rd game being held? Other than that, and the lack of Fremantle Doctor in summer, Queensland is a lovely place. Especially NQ in the tradewind season.

Elizabeth trash your first week or so of 2nd semster, combine it with the end of your time off and have a lash at Yorkey's Knob out of Cairns for a week or two. Chris at Kite Rite is a decent chap, tell him I sent you and he'll look after you. Just don't let him sell you anything.

hey GreenPat, are you having a dig at the Qld team with the "state of oranges" lol ... don't know where its being held... yeah Qld's a gr8 place to live... Never been up North, but sometime it'd be good to go up to Cairns and Tannum Sands for a little while... Good for a holiday sometime then... maybe next holidays I will do that lol... work remember also and uni... and I really enjoy where I work - surprisingly enough

I'll remember that bout Chris from Kite Rite... hope he would look after me, but when I do go up there it'd be with some of the other kiters prob. anyways or a mate or two... but I promise I won't but anything from him lol...

So far I've brought all my gear from Goodtime at the Gap here... great store... If you go there are to see Mick( Mike) the kiting guy, Sam (windy and kite guy), or/ and Ben Rowney (wakeboarder), or any of the others are great staff.... all absolutely wonderful.... they stock Slingshot, Cabrinha,Peter Lynn and more ++

Anways... Take care all...

I know Goodtime at the gap, great shop. Pity Brisbane is such an average place to kite. Nothing wrong with Queensland though, we used to call the game State of Oranges, not the team. When I was growing up there...

Thing about Cairns is the wind is firing up there around now and the beach is great for kiting. Any tide, and you can rig up on the grass. Not that you need to, the beach is big enough for everyone. Go there for two weeks now, on a holiday, and you'll probably get more water time than two months in Brisbane.

Oh yeah, I know Bondo is a Brisbane guy, just wondering if he truly did go to the South Sandwich Islands. It's not impossible. Despite the predominantly one way traffic the other way, some of us have actually moved from Australia to South Africa.

Yeah Goodtime is a great shop... Yeah from what I've heard Brisbane isn't the hottest place to kite... Up North Qld is great I've heard like Tannum sands and also WA... ah so ur an old Qld boy GreenPat... good on u...

Gee -- U guys are lucky u can get out on any tide.. If u get the tide right at Wello it's great, and then just hope the winds are good also...

Yeah ... If I could just up and go to Cairns for 2 weeks I would -- but I can't because I work, and then I'd have to start saving all over again... Yeah, this time of the year it's super cold in Brisbane and I was wearing a long sleeved wetsuit top, and then a long legs and short sleves wet suit... and I was luckiy not too cold ... kept me quite warm..

Anyways.. I will travel to a nice kiting spot soon... in time in time...
