Yeah echo, the scottish bloke was the other guy with me on the lagoon. Plenty of room for two kiters on there, it was simply magic. How do you know him? I met the bloke up at Caloundra one day, gotta love that accent.

Hard to top that session. Another 5 knots would have been nice :-)

I'm not sure you north coasters are going to get the westerleys in time today, they are moving up from the south and might not hit you until sunset. I think i'm gunna go down south to wello, at least that caters for a variety of possible wind directions. I'd try w'ba or bongspot but wello looks more of a solid bet.

yeh me and echo went for a session today, i was havinheaps of fun. spot norj seems to be the go in a westerly. A catamaran mast broke or something like that and he was stuck in the middle of the river. luckily there was a kiter to save the day. echo went over and towed him back to safety, was funniest thing. for once it wasnt the kiter that was being saved. Echo isnt a life guard but i think hes a kite guard.

Good surf and good wind (although I am a bit dissappointed that Wilkie didn't get the 20-30 knot prediction too right).

Wish we'd get a whole week of todays conditions!
