This will set the banks nicely.

Exactly my thoughts, sand trax sessions?

Margaret River waves are off the scale on the Seabreeze charts:

Ha ha ha - classic comment after the BOM warning!


Hey - good advice for the Noobs (and most intermediates) from STW.


PAY ATTENTION - CONDITIONS LIKE THURS ARE NOT FOR THE FEINT HEARTED INEXPERIENCED - NO MATTER HOW BIG YA BALLS ARE! (I will be watchin a DVD with a hot cup of cocoa BTW)

Wasn`t as windy as expected yesterday. But kiting amoungst a bunch of playful seals at seal island made up for it big time. Great fun.

the wind meter at ocean reef just blew down i think......one of the last readings was a 48 knot gust.....time to get out there.

I officially need a 2m with depower
A BIG DEPOWER
Heard that best does a 2m Waroo
Now thats fast!
Would be interesting though how much power i generates in 44Knts

I have a 2m inflatable and it works really well in winds from 20 knots all the way to 75 knots, great fun. I use a 2m pansh Ace in gail force winds. So much fun and you can even do big jumps, So SO fast !!!

Also broke my ankle the same way but it way over 50 k not winds and I jumped too close to the beach and landed on hard wet sand. NOT MUCH FUN !!

75 knts?????
holy *****************************************
fixed bar?
wats the depower like then.

ahhhh, just got back from a session at contacios with the 9m. I will smile for the rest of the week I think :)

mostly just getting worked, but the 3 toeside waverides that went on forever made it all worthwhile... where was everyone else?!?!
I saw 2 other kites and one was my the guy I was kiting with.
