Hello evrybody,
I am on Brisbane the meteo seems good for kiting next week.
I would like to know where do you go kiting near Brisbane, i search a safe flat spot.
I have heard about Jumpinpin, how to get there? Is it possible without a boat?
Thanks a lot

Hey mate....

Need a boat or Jet Ski to get to the Pin unless you have a mate who can take you... Goldy Crew!?

Wello = Flat but rocks and many dangers, but great in a Westerly.
Redcliffe = Flat to choppy and not many dangers...

Considering its STILL 20 knots atm and its 11pm, I will be at Wello tomorrow for a kite. PERFECT tide... But I must warn you, Redcliffe seems to have more predictable wind than Wello.

Either way., I'll post on here before I leave in the morning if you want!? Would LOVE an 8:00am sesh...

or PM me.

Cheers Liz

There are some trains from Brisbane, so i will try to get there by train.
Do you know if the beach is far from the spot by train?
Thanks and good night, see you tomorrow at Wellington point

Hey well Wello is one place that is PERFECT in anything with a Westerly and is AMAZING in anythign Nly... but Westerly is always dodgy.....

You can get a train to Wellington Point station from anywhere really.

Where you staying-Brisbane is a huge place lol?

If you throw me a call or text around 7:45am I could pick you up from the Wello Pt station if you want mate.

There are busses that go from the station to Wello Point., but it'd be about a 20minute walk, but 2-3minute drive... Lemme know mate.

Have you been kiting long? Experienced?

I practise kitesurfing since 3 Years, i am intermediate level.
I live in my friend's house in Paddington.
I have a french mobile phone, it is expansive to call with it in Australia but i can send you a texto around 7h45 to give you information about my arrival time and to confirm if i come or not.
Thank you very much, and sorry for my English, i am learning it.

Thanks a lot, see you tomorrow.

Aahh man, talk about a crappy wake up call....

Look at the wind, or lack thereof. Yet the forecast is still 15-20... hmmmm Maybe it will happen...

I am hoping it is the massive storm-rain cell that appears to be coming.... and it will clear...

Ohhhh such a disappointment. Will give it 30min and see whats happening...

This is ssoooo why night kiting should be a sport LOL

Hey, the conditions look so bad this morning.
So what happened? Is it dead for this morning? I got up for nothing? I am very disappointed.
I haven t had a real kite session since i arrive in Brisbane, i hope that it will be better when i will be in the north

Do you go kiting tomorrow or after tomorrow?

I know! I'm devastated! lol

It seems dead this morning, but there is a rain-storm cell heading towards and over the bayside at the moment, so I am hoping that it clears and picks up once it passes....

I think not however...

I start work at 2:30 Mon-Fri this week, so any kite I have will be an early sesh...

Looks just as windy the rest of the week, but raiiinn... =

I hope, I hope, if there is a variation, let me know and I come.
If there isn't, see you an other day for kiting, I stay on Brisbane until Saturday.
Post if you go kiting.
Thanks
