Tide will be running out till at least 2pm. The north eastern channel should be perfect in the predicted southerleys.

Have just finished a new board for Terri and her arm is now mended enough to kite. Also a new one for me so we are keen to put the new boards to the extreme test.

I'm starting to see a theme here.
You certainly like to flaunt your wealth, hey Fitzy ?
lol
The haves and the have-nots.

Hey 'Slave. No theme, just need to show the local crew that I have to work sometimes. It has taken me 35 years to be an overnight success.

To the Goldie Crew .... What a sensational session at The Pin today.

Couldn't have been many kiters left down at the usual spots.

4 boatloads and three Jet Skis (28 people) took over The Pin entrance for a spectacular sight. So many kites darting backwards and forwards through the surfline at the bar entrance and the huge floaters by Pauli J and Paulio on his new Contra were fun to observe. Winds gusting from 20 to 30 knots made for an interesting ride with only one damaged back (Hernan)and one torn kite/lost bar and lines. Leon and Kath even brought baby Taj along to blood him in his dad's chosen sport.

As Paulio said " can't wait for the northerleys".

It really is a world class spot and will remain relatively unridden due to it's remoteness.

Best of all we still have a few more days of these unusually high winter winds. Bring it on !!!

Kiteable in any wind direction with calm water lagoon, protected channel, sandspit inlet or surf action available. Just take your pick.

As if there's such a thing as a secret-spot for kiting on the Gold Coast.
Kites flying at 25m above sea level in the holiday capital of Oz,
are just more colourful advertisements on Sky TV.

Point taken Fitzy.
However, when you live in Western Australia,
and you read the words 'pretty remote' in the same sentence as '30 minutes from Surfers'.....
it makes me chuckle.

By the way, that tourist resort that's located on South Stradie,
how far away is it from Jumpin Pin ?
Anyone organising kite holidays from that resort ?

grrrrrr
