I was in a unit over looking Langley park and it looked inviting today on the waters between the City & South Perth!!

I was out at woodies today, 35-42knots on a six meter. Good fun. Heading to Cottesloe or Leighton Tuesday. Looks promising.

Yup, out at Mullas with 3 other kiters this afternoon. Got out yesterday arvo as well. 7m both days, lit but manageable.

2 days in a row with more to come

Reckon tomorrow might be dodgy, Wednesday afternoon looks OK

Well went out yesterday (not really the storm though), 22-33 ish on a 9m vegas and was too lit...

Had to control speed at all times. But hey got out. Not to mention a 4 foot swell running...made life interesting..

Had a great seshion yesterday at Leighton around 3pm. Fully lit on the 7, wind prob 25 - 35 - nice to be powered with some solid slabs rocking through ,

hooked in to a few nice lefts and few nice rights and even landed a few reos

(though got smashed on a couple as well)

I've checked it many times over the last couple of days hoping that there was enough angle in it to get out.
Its been sh!t IMO. I love winter kites, high wind, big surf but the wind has been either too onshore, too mad and waves just dumpy dumpers.
Weds maybe?

I'd just like some decent (and not absolutely nuclear) wind on the friggin' weekend.....

Nuclear wind straight onshore is awesome! You can do downwinders in both directions and easily get back to where you started. Just don't boost too close to shore when that 70knot gust hits.
