I would wait till summer. Winter winds while being strong are usually from dodgey directions and not that predictable. There aren't many places with all year round winds infact non I can think of. But WA has some of the most predictable winds in summer. If your dissapointed with WA then you will be dissapointed everywhere.

the main source of my disappointment was the fact that i was oblivious to the states weather conditions. i just found out my new hobbie isnt an all year round activity so i was a little dissapointed with reality

"Reality's got a habit of doing that"
But hey - denials good ..&.. pretending can be fun

Always

Why not

If you're going to do something, do it with luv.

In summer, where i live & kite, we just leave all our kites pumped up & stacked up against each other nice and neatly in a rack on the beach. So when you want to kite you just turn up and unlock your 'ready to go' kite and away you go. We always have Paulio's ute full of esky's filled with cold beer waiting for the end of each session. ($2 per beer) In summer the wind blows NE 20knots from 10am until 1am. Usually we just sleep under our kites on the beach (its much cooler sleeping on the beach in summer) Sometimes i use my kite as a net to catch fish & then we cook them on the camp fire. My favourite is to set my kite up between 2 trees Hammock style.
WARNING - Never ever under any circumstance put your kite/hammock near the camp fire, It makes it really hard to catch fish with a heap of burnt holes in your kite.

Damn you poor reli with your guiness & pies. I will have to send you by post one of my 'special' cheese & bacon pies. Its made from the finest pastries, with 100% pure beef, grain feed for a minimum 100days. It has large strips of cooked bacon and both crispy & melted cheese mmmmmmmmm did i mention the strips of bacon mmmmmmm.

been a while since i've visited the site.
have been feeling sorry for myself as i curse the weather and lack of wind.
thought I'd read everyones posts about all the wind they've been getting
there is great comfort knowing i'm not the only one scaring the wind away every time
i grab my kite.

this is my first winter as a kiter, and the first winter in ten years the raging morning winds i've been expecting never bothered to show.
i really hate winter now.
