if you time it perfect you can catch a little more air using the jet thrust. Be careful though, this bloke called eric wasnt as lucky when he hit up marcoola.

Echostorm, I tag along with Nick & Tony on my 16mtr for some fun. 12-15 knots not bad, tommorow's the call before expected showers for the weekend. Tony's putting the call out for tommorow around 2 or 3pm.

Well thanks Guys.

Yes now come on is it okay or no? My sister lives on the beach there and I haven't actually kited it. I kind of think Virgin will be cool with it the jet engine boosting but Qantas might be a bit stiff on the rules?


Now seriously can you kite it okay, far enough from the airport?

Yeah, Marcoola is good - we normally pass by when doing a down winder from Yaroomba to Mudjimba.
Ben Wilson has been known to kite there every now and again.
