Honestly this summer has been a dud for Brisbane kiters! There's been hardly any wind , hardly any seabreeze it would be over 2 weeks now since we've had decent wind. The next wind forecasted is basically a southerly change bringing in rain and blasting over 35knots of cold wet rainy weather over Christmas and New Years. I've kites for over the last decade here. This isn't normal, it's enough to put anyone off the sport!
Does anyone agree?

It had been a little off in central qld, but still getting out 3 times a week.

The last two weeks has been abit hit and miss on the Sunshine coast, prior to that was consistent northerlies.

I'm putting an end to the wind in WA as I will be over next week and surprise surprise wind kicks in Brisbane and drops in Perth.

So soar from kiting ..... Man it's good in wa

I just arrived in BrisVegas for xmas with the inlaws (from Syd), pretty happy with the forecast for the next few days!!

I'm fairly close to Sandgate / Brighton. Is it worth the drive to Caloundra? Or how's it around Redcliffe? Only have a 10m and TT with me.

yesterday was great on the Sunny Coast

but wind has been a bit lane for the last week and a half

forecast looks unreal

Both were over 10 foot weren't they? Seems all the sharks are on the Sunny Coast at the moment and Brisbane is the safe place to kite.

I wanna see pics of these sharks

So I went to Sandgate at 11am, there was one kiter out and virtually no beach to speak of. No idea where he launched from. Then went to Redcliffe, same again one kiter out, about 10m of sand on the beach and looking sketchy.

Then I drove to Caloundra and it was Awesome!! With the forecast the way it is I didnt want to come back! Might hit it again somewhere tomorrow.

Cheers
