Sounds cool, couple of bouys for a jumping area, and it's on.
How about:
1) Big air
2) Best "old school" move....KGBs, mobes, landing blind etc 1 carton fine.
3) Best wipeout of course

Boo-yah, Laurie's fiddled the graph since this morning, roll on some wind!

You can keep Melville though, I hear the waves calling. I haven't kited for an absolute age. Flying into Perth tonight.

I will bring the new buouys to replace the little white one..3 big yellow blobs which will be called "kite tacking buouys," or KTB's for short.

that would produce some nice wipeouts though...

a tack is where you turn around!!! No rugby involved...
By the way,Whats the difference between the wallabies and a teabag?




Teabag stays in the cup longer

judging is by consensus vote.
Hamish, Toby, few of the La Renunion boys all keen!
great session today in Perth, It's amazing the wind range in these newer kites (no brand/shape mentioned), I was comfortable on a 12, then took out a 7 for some wave action, both performed really well

If I can get out of bed after saturday's job-marathon I will be there with a hungry stomach, thumping head, but great spirit! Bring on summer and bring on Melville!

NOOOO. Lauries evil arrows are going to ruin it! Organise anything and the wind will drop. When's the next WAKSA down/no winder??

If the wind's only marginal, could do:
best old school trick
gnarliest kiteloop
sickest stack.

Might have to change the name to melville kiter fizzle

I'm hoping for sunny 27 degrees and no wind so I can sit in agony on the beach without feeling I'm missing out on a kitesession..





naaaaaaahhh just kidding, bring on the wind ffs!!!!

With regard to sizzling meat! It would make more sense to have this further down the road past the Wind-surfers beach. I think there is a Council BBQ there? Can anyone confirm otherwise I will chuck the Webber in the car! Suggestions please!

Cheers

Judging by the lack of GREEN in the weekends forecast I reckon we save the Sizzle and shizzle for a more postive forecast. I am sure none of us would enjoy being down there with a gnats fart breeze pushing through no matter how good my cooking is!

Is there someone who has some "super glue" that they could bring down?

Need a tiny bit to glue the screw in the shackles....so that they can not be so easily taken.

to stop people stealing the bouys you can use some wire and thread it though the eye on the shackle pin and the main body. Or better explained:
-bend as thick as possible piece of wire so its doubled up [size determined by size of hole on shackle pin]
-thread through eye and main body
-bend back so its like a slip knot and with pliers twist together

Sorry about the lack of meat! I should have posted a more explicit cancellation! Dave informed me of the upset :) I will make up for it I promise! Sorry Kitten.

Too complicated mate. Just attach one of those spiky underwater mines to them, that'll teach them a leason!

I have not yet super glued the shackles as they may need some adjustment on the chain....so fingers crossed that they don't get taken in the next few days before I can make final changes and glue the buggers.

Thanks for the advice though....
