4 days kiting back to back last week, 3 days already this week and the weekend looking good as well, dusted off the 11m and reminded myself why kiting is so much fun once the wind gets above 20 knots!



How are the other QLD crew going?

peace from the island

Hey Andy,
With the wind we should get this arvo, perhaps you could do a downwinder from Maggie to kite with the guys at Townsville

mate I'm knackered, I think I'd get about as far as the shipping channel and then have to body drag down wind the rest of the way!

Thanks for the invite - new bub here so family committments make it a bit easier to just pop down to the local spot.

2 hours again yesterday evening on the 11m, slogging through the gusts....sore arms, sore legs, sore abs...but big smiles all round! There were some good sized waves just off Nelly Bay yesterday btw.

and a huge old green turtle that I saw about 4 times.

Good to see you Townsville folk are getting the wind. Rain, gusty and offshore at time rubbish here at Cairns. Mind you, back at work today and the place goes off. Bloody typical. Off tomorrow and no doubt turn to crap again. Murphy's Law.

Andy,
I didn't get out to Pallarenda until late (4:30) on both Saturday & Sunday, by then the wind had settled a little. I am told that a few guys were maxed out on 8's earlier on Saturday. Its good to see some of the smaller kites get dusted off and taken for a blast.
Today there was a heap of kites at Pallarenda, looked like a demo day for Best. Didn't see any Hellfish though

So Josh, what did you reckon of the Waroo?

Wind has been doing much the same here, peaking between 2 and 4pm. I rigged up sunday arvo just as it died here and went NE. Still amped off last week though, thursday and friday were a lot of fun.
