after 2 years of cursed la nina and generally crap wind we have received 3 days of cross onshore conditions which is the first time this has happened for god knows how long.(plus there was a bit of swell)To whoever has paid the debt to have the curse lifted thanks .look at this ,it is pure joy seening redlines

Also thanks to Best for the 13.5 Kahoona an awesome wave kite and in combo with the Decay Scimitar the ultimate light wind combo yesterday arvo was bliss ,smooth almost glassy water ,no one else on the break and no polies .

don't know where you were kiting testerday, but there was stuff all happening at Stoko.
I did not see any flailing kites at Nobbmysters either!

No flailing, was there 3pm -6pm .Canadian Marc was there on a yellow waroo and another guy on a yellow Cabrinha (BTW Thanks for picking up my pump) .Llloyd turned up just in time for the spike for his 18th birthday pressie.I was on 13.5 red kahoona
Whats with the red arrows guys ? Surely kiters on the east coast are happy that Hueys debt has been paid and el nino returns (If there are any pissed off farmers that are unhappy about el nino I am sorry ,the latest is that el nino and la nina mainly effect the coastal area of the east coast of Oz and inland SE QLD and inland northern NSW and that The Indian ocean dipole effects rainfall in inland SE oz which has suffered 10 years of droubt while the dipole is shut down,sorry to be a bore)

what time were you there ?

i was there at 4 pm and it seemed light on.....it spiked around 5 pm but only for 15 minutes....not even enough time to scratch my large... umm...nose

Here's a tip for stocko in those conditions .There was stuff all at Nobbys too (the water was glassy ) the angle of the beach up the top of Nobbys makes an ene wind very cross shore .Like anywhere in light winds more crossshore wind the better also swell direction is important (yesterday was SE) .I have found that over at stocko on light days like yesterday you need to get more crosshore (too onshore at the pines) head up to the hospital ,you'll be surprised the difference it makes (which is why when I head over to Stocko I will be riding up there ,even on a strong day it is much better quality than down at the pines )

cheers
