going to melb on monday to take wife to hospital, she has a small operation in morning so i wont have anything to do. Its going to be northerly so i want to know if there is any where I can get a kite in near melb. thanks

Hi there
On northerlys the best place to head to is the peninsular (rosebud - rye)
If your short on time Brighton beach is the answer

When the wind is showing northerly on faulkner, brighton seems to get more of a slightly NE, so it has to have some west (even a little) to be cross shore. The cross off is very gusty.

Is anyone actually kiting these days in the bay? As it's been pretty cold. I just wander if there are hard core guys out there in the water this time of the year (especially due to ****ty winds). I haven't been out for few months now... hoping to finish the renovation so i can have free time during the real season.

yeah i kite on a N off green point and Brighton beach you should head back in when you can't feel your feet and face but i don't thats why i have been sick for a few weeks now

but yeah very gusty off Brighton i have found my kite falling out of the sky a few times now

il be there for sure

I kited in brighton last Wednesday! Northerly's are great at brighton beach. Geezzzzzzzzzz it was cold...... i lasted about an hour then felt some hypothermia setting in so i did the mature thing and decided to come in. i feel a bit stupid because i went out in 39knot winds with my naish boxer 12m sle 07. i managed ok but i was going against what is totally recommended, i just enjoy (or addicted to) the power. anyways i know the risks and have no excuse when i get hurt.......

did any one spot kev in his tutu at brighton

brrrrrrrrr he must have no nuts
