Hey Smedg,

I live in north Tumbulgum, and feel your pain. I've heard that Ballina is great on an incoming tide, but don't know anyone who does it. Wello is awesome in a westerly but yes it's a heck of a drive.

If it's not due west then check out North Kirra in a North Westerly, or if it's dead south with a tiny bit of west in it then you can often find kiters on the eastern side of Kingscliff rivermouth, on the beach there. I went there once but there wasn't enough wind for me.

Wello always has kiters in a westerly, but if you want a hand launching and landing, and you see me around up there, I'm happy to help out.

I'm usually flying a 7m aerotech, or a 5.7m North... But they're reinforced with a special prestressed carbon rod down the leading edge (attached to my board with a special rubber joint), and I use a 22 inch chicken loop with no donkey d!ck

Seriously there's a good kiting community up around Kirra/Kingscliff, you'll find some kiting buddies soon enough. Greg flies a white Liquid Force kite (12m I think from memory) around that area, he's a good bloke.

I'm thinking Wello tomorrow, if you see a poley out there on a blue board with a dodgily-repaired nose then say hi

Could it be? No... really? Say Greg you don't have a blue "BoardCrazy" rashie do you?
