For the second time in a week the wind comes up and from the right direction right on Dark .Who's up for some night sessions (cause there aint much else at the moment)

try day light saving haha

Count me in! Desperate times call for desperate measures. I've windsurfed after dark at Merewether before. No big deal, plenty of lighting from the streets.
cheers

To elaborate...

Tool bags trying to get our sport banned, noobs can't even do it right in daylight when they can see where their gear is. Watch the lost and found section explode. Would you go kiting in a thunderstorm or play cricket when it is raining? No. Would you go kiting at night?

Seriously so many noobs read this forum, your just giving them really bad ideas

Ok so where do we meet and at what time? :)

Careful, be very careful with this post....some kiters might get a little worked up over this...

Well this little stir of the pot is starting to die from loneliness. Cant have that!

What would you like me to say ?



Hmmm... here we go. "Willful Negligence". Hey Juddy you'd understand the meaning of those words.

Long live the secret society of beige night kiters!

Don't forget the navigation glow sticks on your kite wing tips. One red and one green. And one on the board in case you dump it.

my sentiments exactly

Now we're getting somewhere..

One of the beautiful things about this forum is that you can throw bait out there and the minnows come rolling in, taking the bait (usually hook, line & fkn sinker)….everyone’s sense of humour/ability to recognise sarcasm gets a bit of a belting here – just as it should….

Lol.

I really shouldn't be surprised

Doesn't that just turn your board into a giant shark lure? Oh wait...

Night kiting was a great experience with a few mates some years ago, 3 cars with high beams on, shark lures ( glow sticks ), bright full moon and strong flood lights in the surf. Was like kiting at dusk there was so much light. We did a midnight kite. Was grand.

We also had a by-buddy system in place.

One guy nearly lost his board, another guy got dragged over a oyster encrusted storm water drain.

Every time you fall off you hear the Jaws theme playing in your head. Every ripple looks like a shark fin. And there are invisible ninja waves you just cant see that take you out randomly.
