Iam hitting it later this arvo, lets pray it goes off again.

cheers lads for the sesh today at pazza, was great to get wet.

Is there any wind monitors there? How do you know it's blowing there when it's not in Adelaide?

yeah would be good to know whether the wind is good or not up there.... could you look at the edithburg one??? is there any that are close which are accurate???

because pt parham is up the golf, the land is hotter, transition from ocean to land temp is greater, so the wind funnels up the golf better than metro coastlines.

it would be awesome if they put a observation tower out there, but until then its still a bit of guess work.

it sounds like a few guys went up there today, how was it?

Its a long walk out but well worth it for the flat water, tide heights from .8 to 1.2 m are smack on for flat water blasting. We are just used to the walk out to the water.

hey, we were going to make the trip up there this arvo but only made it to middle beach, counldn't be bother the whole drive up to pazza. could someone post a google image where u guys kite??? im keen to make the long drive up there again soon!

HOORAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY PAZZA trully did live up to its name. Yesterday there was three of us having an awsome time until sunset. Maybe we might do all over again this late arvo.....

how can you tell wether or not there is gonna be wind up that way, what forecast do you use? Its a long way to find no wind...

Hey guys, I use to go crabbing at thompsons when I was a kid and the tide goes absolutely MILES out!! What's the min Tide you'd do it in, or do you just cop the 2km walk thru sludge n **** like a man?

The minimum tide height at parham (I think thompsons is the same) that we go out in is around .8m...(Port Adelaide height). At this height the water is about 6"-12" deep, for miles....creating world class speed conditions, if the wind is up. It's a 800m walk out to the water tho!!
So as mentioned earlier, .8m and higher is sweet.
Have done a .5m, but it's a 2km walk, or kite out thru the channel if wind is nth or sth....and if out for hour or so just come in with the tide.
Good to hear the pazz is going off...and 10 kiters out today, and none of the pazza crew...now thats just plain rudeness!!!

It was a lot of fun... a bit shallow at times but once you get to know the area where the channel is, it's a bit deeper if you want to do some tricks etc.
The walk is not a problem either, just drive the 4WD out and move it when the tide starts to come in.
I was out on a 12m Nobile T5 with a 2009 134cm 666NHP at first... (108kg), kite was well powered at times, very interesting winds there... absolutely nothing everywhere else in the state!
I took the Nobile 50Fifty 140cm for a quick run and had a ball on the flat water, it pops so well... needed a little more wind at that stage but was definitely a board I would like to ride in the future, carves so well and lands a bit softer than the NHP 2009 board.

A nice cold beer on the beach to finish the session as the sun sets over the glassy flat water... hrmm PAZZA, not a bad place at all... thanx James and Tim... oh and Rob (its about time the windhogger didn't have it all to himself) lol

Great stuff guys, can't wait to have another go!!!

Don't you guys work!!...or do you just knock off early ,lucky ....stards!! lol
Just watch out for the rocks in the area south of the first channel marker pole, when low tide!!

I am thinking of doing the trek up to Pazza on thursday arvo, have not been in the water since robe so pretty keen for a session.
Would love some company, and local knowledge if anyone else will be around???
BOM is forcasting a 12knot westerly on metro beaches, is this likely to be stronger up north?
