woodies

I'm heading straight to Scarbs as soon as I can get out of the office. But I've got a weird fetish for direct onshore in waves, it doesn't float everyone's boat...

Safteybay was rocking this morning

Wot ?

Woodies was kitable today early afternoon...very gusty though....only kooks out.

I like windy

Apart, that is, from just after the patch of 15-20 between 6 and 6.45 yesterday. The patch of light wind that wasn't enough to get me out past the foamies. The one that that affected me with a doom and despair enough to leave the beach in sorrow.

Bring on Saturday... Hopefully.

Try this afternoon !! - its dropping off about 3-4knots by 5pm.

I hear ya Pat.

Your right about the too cool for school crew - probably good skills but bad attitude. It must be hard getting through life only having an acorn packed away in the basement Not that I'd know of course...

Geez Pat I havent had a decent sesh in a month!!! Too much work and the last 3 session I have had not one but two kites fall out of the sky... sigh... anyone got a 38m kite out there?????

Oh, also on the only good wind day (25+)3 weeks ago I copped my board square on the cheeck with claret everywhere and a nice new 2" battle scare... Geez it was only 5 mins into a ripper sesion with 2 humongo jumps under the belt. Tried to keep going but was getting pretty dizzy 15 mins later and ended a bit concussed the next day. It hit real hard so I was very lucky not to get a fracture or spit a handfull of teeth out though

Really stupid thing actually, I had the board in my right (upwind hand) bring it around while looking at the kite... board rolls over a large bit of swell and catches on 25+ breeze just as I turn around to avalook!!! Crunch!!! Board = 1 Me = what day is it???

Lesson learnt - high wind bring the board around downwind derrr...

Babysitting the squids Saturday Love those lads but tempted to give em away to a good home!! Anyone got a kite-creche setup in Perth??

'bout the same as yesterday arvo, still about 5 foot faces, and messy as hell.

Should be interesting this arvo. By the time I get out of work, sort my kit and get on the beach it's generally about 6pm, right when the wind is scheduled to drop off. Plus with the swell building all day, might be interesting trying to get out. Might have a bit of Southerly in it by then, could actually be quite good.

If it doesn't work, there's always Saturday night
