gday, i've just moved to exmouth and am keen to find out the best spots to kite along the western side, and any places to avoid? looks like some perfect places along that coast. any and all tips welcome

Gday Stamp
Ive just moved here myself, up from sunny Shark Bay, the windiest town on the planet. Theres a few local crew who kite and all really cool. This place is heaven for kiting youve probably been sussing spots along the west coast and I cant see one spot I want to avoid, apart from the top of the peninsula (dont like the thought of getting dragged to the Murions!!).
September is when the wind kicks in and then its 9 months of joy.
Send a reply and we'll hook up its gonna be a great Summer.
Oh yeah and for the rest of you reading this, its too far to travel, the sharks are monsters and the locals eat kiters for breakfast after consuming their third whale shark for the day. Woodies rocks!!
hahahahahahahaahhahahhahaha, we're in paradise.
Haahahahahhahahahahaaaaarrrrggggguuuuuuhhhhh.

Yeh nice Lurch - Localism rears it's ugly head and Youv'e only been there 2 minutes. - it's not like theres not enough room up there.

But i'm sure you where joking anyhow.

ps

They are always the most vocal locals - the ones that have just arrived

You are only a real local if your mum was born there !

Ian Baby!!!!!!

The gasman commeth

IN at the Lighthouse 1 October for a week
Yeah, I know its a bit far from the pub, but sitting back watching the whales before kiting accross the road is toooo cooooool

Hmmmmm, downwinder from Sandy Bay to Grave yard??

Just one more for Ioz, I aint a local I'm a blow in. But swear to god I saw a kiter who looked sideways at a local and he ate him board and all.
Swear to god (Huey) maaaaaaaaate.

Good chance myself and the girlz will be heading up for some RnR round end sept beginning of Oct. just finalising all the work thingos like leave then thunderbirds are go.....
so i'll be in..

Yahooooooooooooo...and the Reli Man himself, fantastic. We better call ahead and have the town stock up on pies and guiness.

Swweeet we have a starting crew who are good to go. I reckon Dej will be on the program when he hears about it. Suz will be on the support crew as well. Hopefully some of the local crew (hey Scotty) will be charging too.
50 ks of turquoise blue lagoon and waves all the way down, wildlife as good as the Bay and we can even have a perve on the backpackers snorkelling too!! Sounds too good to be true, well it aint my friends this is reality. Throw in consistent 20-25 kt sw and we're in heaven.
Had to work today down at Ningaloo station and we had the first good se-sw for weeks it blew 20 kts solid all arvo and it looks like its on again tomorrow. Damn work, who said I had to make a living!!
Now this is why we have a forum, in Big Kev's words "Im excited".

Missed my planned trip - damn #^*>@!? it all.
But I will be back in WA just in time for this big groupy. I will be tryin my best to join you all.
Great company ; best place on earth & Sandy Pt. > Graveyards !!!!!
O M G - this is the stuff dreams are made of
If I can make it it will be one more support vehicle & a built-for-exmouth-reef support boat as well.

ps Airhead - Actually Yardie Creek park is way more windy & way dustier than Lighthouse.
But Hey - no-one has to know that (least till they get there )

Tides predictions indicate that downwinder should occure during the end of the week, 7th onwards. Y'all may want to check on this also:

Seems like we're going to have a great time. Training for 4 days followed by epic.

Hopefully every kiter up there will be in. Still seeking boat support volunteers (or we can rotate duties on the day), especially if we're going to explore out where the sharkie lives Land recovery with refreshments is done deal.

8 more days till Spring and only a month to go, yuppie! Really need some nice wind down here though so I can try some of the new toys out on the market.

airhead, are you coming and have you booked in somewhere?

Wind is coming

You lucky thing you. Hope you have a great trip with lots of big waves and lovely wind.

Great that we don't need a boat...the ground support will be there so we can take breaks, pick up another kite etc. Finish the wine and off to bed,dam work.
