No, I met a kiter today that said it was a strong wind warning and organisers have no insurance when there is a warning present.

i think that they should still be on today. it hasnt rained for 2 and a half hours and is sunny and very windy outside. in my opinion we should start them at 3:30 today and just have the big air comp and some freeriding today.

ewan

P.S anyone who was planning on goin still come to saint kilda beach coz i dont want to be the only person out!




why are u on the net and not kititng then?

i just got back from the beach. had an awesome session. the graphs broke at 4 untill 6 which is when i was out but guys at the beach rekon it was 40+ averaging with gusts to 50 knots which is why everyone came in. guys who were on 7m bows were goin in while i was staying out in crazily windy wind where the who sea was covered in whiteness and spray and people said i was goin higher than kitelines .

cant wait for the state titles tommorow. lets all make a full day of it coz we missed today (well most did). i will be there all day and i think the you can be there at 12 noon for stuff.
