Headed 2 wello 2day hopeing for the predicted 15/20 Knots SE, and it was blowing perfectly! It was sooo great! An outgoing tide, and I managed to easily water launch myself (1st time, and I'm proud I got it lol), I had a blissful, fun, perfectly powered, great time! I'm so rapt

Although it was raining down like a bucket (and flooding near the huts), I was the only kiter there, and I had it all to myself!

It may look dreary, but it was a blast... Can't wait for the 4 months uni holidays in 4 weeks

I hope everyone's getting out elsewhere

Hey mate - Tide for wello this week is pretty good... High tide of 2.31m at 9.52am, low tide of 0.31 at 4.15pm... So you can kite anytime from 7am to just before 2.30 pm, of after that seeing you can stay upwind towards the deep channel where the boats go out...

It's a 15/20 knot SE so it's looking really good

Another perfect 16-23 knot SE at Wello, and once again, the only kiter there! There from 10.30-2, I managed to get a solid 2 more hours out there in a perfect tide, perfect winds, and a perfect day I can use my 10m kite in 14-23 knots so far now and hold it down! Such a blast I hope the forecasts ahead are as great as today
