It was a bit borderline today, but the temperature is up where it needs to be - hopefully the seabreezes start cranking soon!

BOM seems to be hopeful:


Forecast for Tuesday
Winds: North to northeasterly 5 to 10 knots becoming light around dawn then
tending south to southwesterly up to 15 knots during the morning and further
increasing to 15 to 20 knots during the afternoon. Wind decreasing below 10
knots later in the evening. Seas: Below 0.5 metre increasing to 0.5 to 1 metre
during the afternoon.

Odd fellow out at torquay this arvo on a blue 20m waroo and surfboard, kiting through mal riders and SUPs. It was that slow it looked like ballet on the water which fits cause apparently he's a nurse.

A 17m ozone zepher was my choce of kite today,from kitepower geelong .and a three wheel atc too skerff behined.stared about 12 midday on the atc,then putting up the zepher around 1 or 2.wind looked too light to kite but for the zepher ther was plenty, 5 knots more and id put up my 11m fuel.for a big fat kite it was a lot of fun.
but having a 13m 04 fuel with a Big Fat board staying up wind ment there was some very rear win at hand................
just coming back from the Gramer school corio geelong 8:55pm ther was still wind too kite,but I must be getting old and didn t use it !!
all and all the 17m zeph is a good light wind kite thats keeped me up wind in 12 knts (or less).

THIS IS NOT A KITE REVIEW

Yeah Ewan, but you are the size of a jockey bro. You can probably get someone to plug in a desk fan at the end of the pier and that would be enough
