Hey guys.

I ride a twin tip and am thinking of doing a down winder probably by myself as I have no one to kitesurf with but am thinking about going from Yaroomba to Mudjimba. What's the thoughts. Is it hard / easy, any good?

I'm thinking big boosting of waves.

Cheers

I launched a kite for a bloke at mudjimba last week he was doing a down winder towards yaroomba he said just get a bus pass and it will bring you straight back. he was having a good time by the look of it boosting big off the waves.

And have never done one before so not 100% confident on going out past the breakers to far so is it easy to stay in the surf a fair bit?

Seeing the weather U probably have not done 1 yet??
The SEQLD guide covers down-winders and no go zones... sticky at the top of this forum..
U will have to go out past wave zone to pass flagged areas.

Great fun but first few times - go in company - not to be under estimated..
Check and re-familiarise yourself with releasing your kite - if U R in waves and down - you will likely damage it if you are still attached.

Do a search on going out to sea through the wave zone under the "Newbies tips & tricks" thread - from memory a good discussion with a lot of good tips...

Cheers

I'm fairly comfident on going over waves etc and yes I know to hit the quick release if down in the wave zone. Only problem is dont really have anyone to accompany me... Cheers for the advice
