Hey, just wondering if you can kite Narrabeen or anywhere else in Northerly/NorWester?

I could probably get out my 15 by the looks of the graph, but don't want to drive down there if you can't kite in this wind.

Cheers,
Tom

I tried Narra in a NW/NNW. The wind was a crappy 12/13kts and kept dying along the beach so I put up my 14m and took out the 148... Got out the back and got hit by 25/30knt gusts... Definitely one of the more scary moments I've had kiting.

Wouldn't recommend it, but if you must give it a shot and you won't do it again

Off the N end of Long Reef at the easternmost point of Fishermans Beach.

Just don't go out past the end of the reef or you could end up in Auckland pretty quickly...
