Hey People

Any one got any tips on where to kite in winds with any component of Easterly here in Perth. It's a bit tragic sitting home for a long weekend with 20knots a blowin. Even in a SSE, I'm not game to go out from my normal haunts (Pinaroo & Mullaloo) lest I never return, although the Maldives are rumoured to be nice this time of year.

Cheers Gruezi/AP

Just looking at the map; a downwinder from Pelican Point to Point Walter looks like it might be a good option?? Never been out on the river before.

Here's a couple of funnies, for your amusements.

* GOING FOR A Mc****.
Entering a fast food restaurant with no intention of buying food,
you're just going to the bog. If challenged by a pimply staff member,
your declaration to them that you'll buy their food afterwards is known
as a Mc**** with Lies.

* AUSSIE KISS.
Similar to a French Kiss, but given down under.

* AEROPLANE BLONDE.
One who has bleached/dyed her hair but still has a 'black box'.

You are a funny man. Don't know about doing a downwinder on your first river go. Great 1.5 hrs. before anyone awake,nice boosting it was like Tarifa

Kat, they are excellent...the graphs lie......spike up and down takes an hour.

I think the wind is measured at Peli, and by the time a big gust has crossed the water it has mellowed...and you can see it coming....and then you boost.
