We will be going out Saturday, probably Mullalloo
but maybe the river

I haven't been out on the ocean yet, just the river. But keen for the ocean at a spot with some shallow and calm waters. What is mullaloo like, wavy or calm?
Do you have any recommendations Joe? Heard there are a few spots in safety bay that would be good! Cheers for the advice on the board skills as well!

Went to Pinnaroo today after work and wind was about 20 knts. Last time I was out in the same wind at pinnaroo i lost my board and drifted thru the windsurfer area downwind. This time I was a bit worried but a couple of learners were having a go so i went out. I went out and back 4 times approx 300mtrs without dropping my kite or board once. My best session yet so looking forward to the rest of the season.

VankyVan I am planning on going to Shoalwater tomorrow if you or any other newbies want meet up. I am also still very much a newbie, and would love some kite-buddies to commiserate with :)

Hey Guys,

I've also just finished my lessons 2 weeks ago
I can manage to get up and boogy along but really need to get in some solid practice

I work away and will be back in town on Tuesday, from then on I will be free every day
It would be great to get together with a few other rookies and struggle through it together!
PM me and we can work something out :)

Yes! Do you mean Shoalwater near Pengos? Or behind the Pond? I wìll be going to Shoalwater with a few other newbies - join us. The wind there is cross on shore (better for newbies), whereas I think the Safety Bay spot is kinda on-shore (?).

Yay - Friday is looking good for me and my kite size :) Hopefully Saturday won't get to wild. I have sent you a PM :)

Yay :) Come to Shoalwater - i think it's the best spot for begginers (happy for someone to correct me on that) - i did my lessons at Pinnas - I prefer shoalwater .

If i am still alive and haven't had all the confidence beaten out of me by Sunday, I can be your kite buddy. But what's with the wind forecast? South-easterly? Will that be very gusty? I can't do gusty, especially not during launches

You sound like my ideal kite buddy

Good point

Hi One and all,

This is scary! I was thinking about the samw thing this week, Ive had my lessons in the begining of last year, went out a few times since then on the river, but my last experience put my kite in a death spin I managed to get out of it, but havent been back since, which freaked my mind out a bit. I live in Beeliar so my haunt would be Woodies, I go down often to watch the guys and gals strut there stuff!!!

So now I find myself, wanting to get back in it!!! and A few kiting newbies with the same ambition would be the way to go... so... is there anybody who wants to join me too? we play by ear...

I can travel to Pengo's on the weekend.

PS: I'm glad I found your thread

Awesome!!! Thought this thread went cold... I am a big boned fella??, I fly a 12 and 8.

Now I'm really getting excited!!!????

tomoz or thurs at melville god willing,im still to get my turns sorted so im sorry if this causes any grief-pre alert
