Hey peeps,

Has anyone been out in the wild conditions of late? I kited with a friend yesterday arvo at Dutchies in good sized swell and wicked winds on my 9m Lift Pro and a 150 Fusion.


Haven't been on the water for 6 weeks due to recovering from an op and as such my girly soft hands were shredded and turned to bloody ruptured blisters after several hours riding. So totally worth it though and only stopped cause it was getting to dark to see anymore.

Bloody beauracracy kept me out of the water today as I dealt with too many civil servants

Gotta love these nasty wintery westerlies! Bring it on!

i didnt get out on sunday but got out monday arvo at a nice glassy spot on the inside, tho a little choppy out the back.
bit gusty tho but u gotta expect that.
had my 8m caution up but cood hav done with a 10 in the lulls, tho the strong gusts were well wicked.
using my new liquid force MLF 120. super sweet board. super fast.
i just wanted it to be howling so i could go fast all the time. i forgot about jumping for a while....
feels like i got a little esky lid under my feet, its differnt using a small board. feels so lively.

I went out at scarbs on Monday arvo. Was only myself and another kiter. Swell was maxin out bigtime, Most waves well and truly over head high- Got pounded by a few waves but it was worth it for the rush of makin it through a section.

Hopfully the wind will kick in again today.

Watched you out there Dale , the waves were more like double to triple overhead high on some of the monsters coming through .
Biggest I've ever seen Scarbs .Thought I was being smart saving myself for today and going down to Avalon , No wind not so smart .
Good effort by you and Ryland , you did well to get that kite to relaunch in the impact zone .
