Hey Bellevue - PM me for a mobile number. Will intro you to the Goldie Crew when you are up here. We are expecting gem north easters over the Xmas Break.

Plenty of choice spots ranging from 26 kms of surf beaches, to flatwater in the Broadwater, to the best at JumpinPIn.

Hey Paulio

You just missed an afternoon of 28 to 32 knts at KFC

My quads are caning. Noticed Paul on Lukes 6 meter C kite pulling a great tea bagger down to near the moored boats.

Some Poleys were getting knocked down in the gusts.

Thank heaven for Bows. Three of us on 12's having a ball. Watched Scottie pull a sensational cartwheel. New trick for the book. Well done Scottie.

Paulio did you launch off Amity PT or the sandy spit off the Wallum pools? I regularly launch off the sand bars around the Rouse...Greenleader's been there.... saw a very large Noah there 3 weeks ago...just cruising down the drop off of the Rouse channel towards the bar... it's not a bad place to kite very quiet..it gets a bit lonely there being a solo voyager.. who one the Goodwill cup? it's a rather large piss-up, I see they allowed the use of GPS's this year...soft for a log event... Enjoy Mambo this year....next time u'r up around RQ way or the Sth passege bar look out for blue Xbow 2's... Cheers Muddy..

Southport got it back this year,i think the only thing we got right for the trip was that we all had a beer in hand for the start! got 18th overall.

We were going to ride the banks in the middle but needed tide caus it was only 12 or so kts , so we headed over to bottom tip of moreton and rode the 'reeders point' to make the most of the run out tide. How good are some of the banks that come up at low tide,any wind direction it wd be heaven.

Ill keep my eye out for you next time , certinly wouldnt want to float around too much out there by yourself.
