Sorry can't tell you about squids but i can tell you that this often happens at picnic point. Sydney is windy, newcastle is windy and picnic point is around 10knots. I friend went up on sat... he had the same experience.

Why?

BTW, where is squids?

A few guys got out on big kites wind around about 10 and gusting up to 12-15knots occasoinally..

Where is boat harbour?

Sorse - Boat Harbour is North Cronulla. Can get access by 4WD and now 2 WD with a 150 M walk. Take a look on Google. Great in a SE/S and quite kitable in a SW even a W as an alternative to Kurnel. Cost $18 to enter the park. You can kite over from Wanda but why would you if Wanda's working. Give it a go it's a top spot.

Granini - The wind must have kicked in as it was crap when we were there. Must be the door you were riding!

By the way, you can buy a 6 month ticket for $AU 80. That is what i have done and I think it works for all wind directions excepted straight west or NW.

Cheers

PS: I was there on Monday morning too, there was no wind at dolls and krunell (probably 5 knots) but enough wind for my 14 and the door at boat harbour. I really love my door! ;)

Long Jetty, the Enterance. Thats the south-eastern end of this saltwater inlet. Very Shallow, lots of seaweet and very smelly water, specially in summer but brilliant flatwater spot.

Unfortunately I am not on Holiday and not on a round the world trip. I would like to do it but I work here in Sydney.

Yes, most people laugh first, when they see this board, but you really should try it. Its brilliant and as you probably have seen, its perfect for low wind days like most of the weekends in Sydney at the moment . And its the only setup that works below 13 knots. It does not feel so big when you ride it as it looks like. And there is a german saying: Who laughs last laughs best ;) because I was on the water!

Crossing my fingers for Saturday. Looks not to bad but probably more like kurnell than Boat Harbour.

PS: And I am waiting for another secret weapon to push my low end below 9 Knots but this will remain secret until I will have received it.

If you really want to try a light wind board try slings glyde seriously goes in nothing.. design hasn't changed in last couple of years just graphics and slick bottom.

The underground 148x46 is pretty sweet for low wind. No concave and only a tiny amount of rocker. Sux in the choppy stuff but great in smoothwater. I'd love to try a door.

I managed a super light wind session at picnic point about a week ago in 8-10knots. I was flying a Speed2 15m. At times the water was so smooth I could see a perfect relection of the kite on the water.... and it was sooo quiet.

It was hardly adrenaline packed kiting but it was warm(ish), sunny and very good for the soul. It felt like i was on a kiting pleasure cruise.
