Just went out for a cheeky late afternoon session to end the year... SeaBreeze showing 16kn then 15 then 14... thought "Great, I'll take out the 14 while I'm waiting for yet another delaminated valve replacement to set on the 10".

Drive down... 18-22kn... hmm maybe? then thought better of it and drove home to get the 10 (Cant be ar$ed waiting to make sure the leading edge stays up)

Get home, get the 10, drive back down, get the kite, lines & pump out put my key on my harness and then promptly decide to leave said harness in the car while I rig up - close door and...... c0ck!


Ask some woman to borrow her phone to call my wife who has to wake up our 'just gone to sleep' 4 week old son to bring me my spare set of keys... and a beer.


So now - figuring the wind gods dont want me to kite today - to appease the gods I shall sacrifice my liver & kidneys at the alter of my bar and get totally rat ar$ed


Happy New Year to all!

No Efen way, just had the best session for this year down here, wasn't blowing crazy mad but was the best swell and wind direction I've had for ages , totally epic downwinder with some 3 meter faces, after a month of $hyte wind today's put my faith back in this little part of the world

happy new years everyone , hope everyone gets a stocked session in next year!

Ps. The bloke that rang asking about the weather few days ago , my apologies but As said this place has fickle winds.

figuring the wind gods dont want me to kite today

the f'ing gods don't want us to kite this month, mofo!

Westies, shut the f up!

It's still f'ing grey with no wind and it's now f'ing raining!

I've put on 10kgs and I'm so pissed y'all lucky I aint packing.

Can't wait to get back to work.

It would suck rather badly to be living over east right now.

So... anyone else fed up with replacing delaminated valves?

Another arvo r00ted - 2 more valves to replace - one on each kite.



Seriously I tried to punish my liver last night - I really did. [}:)]

Flexifoil Ion2 - only the blue valves (ie inflate deflate)

Where else would you leave the other kite your not flying? Or when your driving the 1000km to your surfari spot?


I know "why" they do it... known fault for that year/model (and not just with Flexi either) - just pi$$ed they weren't warranted AND they did it 2 days running



PS spent $700 insulating my garage before summer to help stop this sort of thing happening with my other gear... Err, to help keep the house cool for the missus

stabber: Sorry kungpow I only speak Cantonese, and I'm not slamming them... the Mrs just feels there will be less Chinese in her circles...
