the wind today was nutts i think it was the windy day of the season
i went to my semi normal wave spot (northern side) no one else out on a kite
so it was me and 10 poles

just got back ,one word - awesome :)

i was fully lit on a 5.5 bandit dos and surf board

yeah that was NUTS!!!! woulda been lit on a 5m easily...anyone selling???

i agreed to take my house mates car into get serviced today, in we process we swapped keys and when after work i realised i couldn't get into my car to get my kite. I have just missed the day of the year..(im crying)

One word "CRANKING"
5 kiters at pinnaroo all on 9's of 7's and boosting like crazy!!
Its like the winter fronts have arrived early.

Typical swell for 30-35 knots, you know. Same old same old...

crazy good session.

Some boys down at Pelican were throwing HUGE HUGE kiteloops at about 6.30. They were awesome.

Big boosts, and wind stayed cranking till after sunset. too good.

definitely the windiest day I've seen this year.

japie,

Your location appears to be broken, where are you? Not here, obviously...

good day to to try out the gps I was borrowing, hit 33kts in between waves at scarborough. stopping was tricky...

It was a truely epic day, the wind was that strong it was smoothing the chop out between the waves.

The body is feeling paying for the fun today.

Yep noice downy City Beach to Trigg.

Ride down the wave as fast as you like towards your kite and it will never go down in those winds.

Fully lit on 7. Nice to have the ocean nice and empty. Always surfers at Trigg though...I really wonder why they bother sometimes.

Im a surfer as well, but 30knots....come on!

I only have a 12m so i couldn't get out. Was out at scabs though like i always am on my standup when there is 30 knots +. Some of scabs best summer waves arrive with those conditions. Much better then waiting around in the morning for knee height sets to roll in that just break straight. Mind you a downwind on the downhill skate board from Scabs to Hillarys boat harbor is always fun

Another great day in WA today....man I wish I could go out. Check out Pelican Pt. today and what a great spot....launched a dude who didn't have a clue but all ok. Watched guy on Cab Nomad who was rippen and keeping an eye on the scene. Not a place for nobs, but with right method for landing and launching is ok. To the guy I launched today I really felt sorry for him....his windsurfing mate was about to launch him in the most dangerous position imaginable but I helped out and all was cool.

Please people, think about how and where you are going to launch....for gods sake give yourself some margin for error..........you don' t want to hit a brick wall if something goes wrong. Use your friggen head for gods sake...................you were ready to be toast mate.

Anyhow, hope all was safe with the great winds we have been having and I do believe Peli is a great place to ride................but launch and land needs to use some friggen brains..............be safe and enjoy our great winds......wahoooooooooooooooo....

See Laurie I made it home and even managed to put up a constructive post.

Fark I want to get well again so I can kite............Peli looked great today, even to someone who thinks it is the most dangerous place to launch and land a kite....peace karma to all.

you gotta love the wind in WA 5 days straight ive ridden my 8 not a arvo under 27kts
glad todays looking a little lighter as my feet and ribs are getting more sore by the day.
