Is anyone else out there about to rip their spleens out waiting for the next decent wind. The forecast looks crap for a while too... we had some green arrows forecast for Saturday but they're gone now.

Really! Where bouts are you guys? We've been lovin all these NE'sters here on the goldie.
Even Nth NSW is cranking the past 2 days and all this wk. Looking out off my deck now and i can see atleast 12 kites at nobby's and broadbeach, lovin the ne today. I'm too stuffed after teaching lessons all day so i'm having a cuppa tea as i know tomorrow will be the same.

You can always drive south...

Northen NSW has had consistent 20 knots NE'lies for the last 3 days and the week ahead looks good too.

But yes the Sunny Coast has had a terrible October although September was a good start to the season....

Rhys, the problem is that many of us have jobs and can only kite on our days off, which tend to be weekends. So last Sunday was the first day that I had been able to kite for 3 weeks, I was going through withdrawl symptoms. Not that I am a great kiter, still learning, but I look forward to every opportunity.

Shane, I hear you; it has been so long since I was out, windy on work days, dead calm on days off... Looking at the weather on Sunday morning, I decided to overhaul the suspension on the rig. Needless to say, bad choice in days. Here is hoping for wind next weekend. (and my dodgy mechanical skills holding up...)

Yeah Nick, I used up a leave pass and sat on the dunes at Mudjimba for an hour on Sunday arvo looking at 12-14kts with my phone in my hand ready to call you as soon as it canked a little.

So frustrating, especially when it cranks down south.

I was out sailing on Sunday in the 11 to 14 knots. Actually saw a guy on the beach with a land board and a foil kite. Don't worry though Mark, I'm sure the blasting SE's will kick in soon. Lets hope.

yawn...another afternoon of 9-11 knots. What am I supposed to do with 9-11? I've been finishing work at 3pm all this week in the hope of some wind. I think it's a NSW vs QLD conspiracy.
