Hey mate.
I've been at wello the last 4 days apart from today.

Raining and knee injury. I'm still out tomorrow due to my knee and compression knee support is helping so will have to kite with it on for a while now.

Thursday or Friday arvo might be promising, but will just have to wait and see. I'm kiting even if my knee is about to snap off. I'm not going 2 days without a kite. haha

I'll make my call about midday - 1pm on the day (thur-fri) and might head down depending on wind.

You're guaranteed to get wind at Sandgate when it's predicted, Wello however, is around 3 knots less than Sandgate (or the BB beacon) and more inconsistent and unpredictable.

I always go to brighton, but would be keen to try Wello as ive never kited there before.
Are there any reccomendations/ cautionary tips about the place apart from the setup/ launch below high tide mark, and booties to minimise open gash's in feet?

Good question, but PLEASE ask if you're not sure. Great question Hayman. Setup is still below high tide mark and council are still enforcing the fine/ban. Ask the local kiters if you're down there at the time what the go is.

Booties are highly recc. or deal with shredded feet on the coffee rock and things out there which rip them to shreds.

copy and paste the above into IE or firefox - forums don't allow + to be in links.

if that works or...



wello on low tide- no kiting really



high tide near jetty and these are the friendly rocks. lol

Just to let you know, I'm making an early call for tomorrow.
Only 15-20 predicted with showers, so less than likely.
Working 8-1 now, and certain it won't come in.

Will hold out for Friday here!

Keep u posted.
