It's SHOCKING[}:)]

Hehe saw Jake, Ry and WayneO on Monday get hit by what must have been close to 40kn.
Ryland was getting mega teabagged on his 9, all 3 had to pull the pin. Lucky it was dead offshore

I heard of one kiter who didn't have such a lucky escape on Monday. Hope you'll be back on the water soon. I was of course too much of a ***** to go out...

Hey Ptussy
Was that Kiter at Cott on Monday?
I saw one bloke walking around down there with his kite at 12 while some BIG black clouds were approaching! He did go out, but I had to go... Hope he was ok...

A session at Cott or Leighton this arvo is on the cards. 3-4 foot surf and 20 -25 WSW. Could be good.

PS. Watch your arse if you haven't got the winter experience. At Cott on wednesday I was ripped sideways 10m, super over powered, on my 12, at least 10 times and I weigh 102kg's. Very strange frontal systems this year, lots of thunder and lightning about in the black fronts. Even a few water spouts about a few weeks ago. The guys out kiting in this stuff are pretty experienced, the lads above tea bagging about on Monday are some of the best kiters in Australia. I was gona go kiting on Sunday arvo but to much lighning about. If it looks dodgy don't go.

awesome yesterday!
first session in 8 weeks = best session ever (with the help of my new toy!!)

Fairly blitzing at scarbs today. Out on a 8M airush flow from 1-3 except when I got sucked over the falls, it ditched, I bailed and spent 20 mins untangling.


Just a footnote kids. I checked the radar big time before I went out and all was looking clear but while I was out there it p-ssed down pretty solid for about 10 mins, fortunately none of that 50 knot (forcasted) squall action came through with it. So don't just fully rely on forcasts and radars, keep your eyes open too.
