Is anybody available for a downwinder in Kawana this week after work around 4pm? Looks like we have 20knots of SE predicted for the rest of the week - possible showers too though.

Yer its died in the ass here I saw a few kites going well at the Caloundra bar on the web cam around 2pm

Nothing worse watching kites go back and forth at your favourite spot and being stuck at work.

Ill try to get off early tommorow.

70mm of Rain in the last 24hrs and looks like we're going to get another 70mm. I think I've forgotten what colour my kite is...at least the surf will be pumping this weekend.

I got out for a late arvo Ghost Rider sesh from 5 to just after 6 wind was great! around 20knts
bit drizzly but still constant wind, gotta love those low's they just keep blowing all through the rain.

I had the New 9m CrossBow out.Such a great kite! wicked little sesh, no one out, it was a real Buzz.It suprising how much light you get reflecting off the white water.

It was dark when I landed the kite right next to the rock wall.Love the New IDS in situations like that.

Such a thrill blasting around in the last bit of fading light with all the Caloundra lights comming on.

I can sleep well now Aaahhh... just finish this glass of red and off to bed.

Ill be back down tomorrow hopefully a litlle earlier.

See ya there.

now that's a desperation session for sure!

i could have gone out, went and had a look at the beach at maroochy and decided against it. couldn't see anything for the rain anyway - you'd have to time it between the heaviest showers to even be able to see where you were going

I should of rang you today, raced home to find no-one out at Coolum or Peregian, and then round the back from Yaroomba to Redgate and not a kite out.

I sat on the beach looking at 6-8ft faces rolling thru. 3 sections to charge thru before your out the back, easy 300-500 mtrs from the beach to back sections.

A good indication was the feathering monsters near the shark nets.

I sat there studying...yeah I could just get past that section...whoo hang on there's another 3 looming. 15knots they said.... the wind seamed to moving around the headland at Coolum and was very light, been in that position before. Not enough to boost enough speed to break thru and get around the sections. The feeling loosing my board out that far with the amount white wash

Sorry I want be here to enjoy it...P.S no beach left to launch from...looks like hot launches from the top of the dunes again...
