Thinking of a run today in WA ?
Some really gusty conditions around here in the Midwest, Well worth a quick gear check as any weak points will be found,
find a quick radar check is worth it from your bom region,

17 knt spikes, that 7 just became a 10 in 40 knts

It's a bit early in the season for wind bragging isn't it?

Looking at the wind charts this arvo and this front has hit hard, fast and ferocious. I really hope there wasn't anyone out for a midday light wind session on a 17m

You just hope that extra 17knot gust hits at the peak of your boost for that second liifffttttttttttt.
and NOT just as your kite flips over and catches the wind self launching
