Great session at Rosebud today although there is always someone who decides to go out on a kite that is way too big. Everyone is riding 6-9m kites with the odd 10m rider who is over powered and then that one special person arrives and spends the day being hauled around massively overpowered on an 11m.

Was alright, but definitely not as strong as I was hoping.
Not that powered on an 8m..
But it's gonna get better!

I have no problem with people going out massively overpowered but when they do it in a crowded location and where they are so overpowered that they have to lift the kite to 12 just to survive a gust while they skim along on the water going under the kite so it nearly drops out of the sky, then its an issue because its going to take out someone else in the process. Its a simple case of consideration for others.

Personally Big eeezeee I think the new kite school you've seen in Rosebud is fantastic, giving quality lesson's with an emphasis on safety, encouragement and fun, with great ongoing support... I may be biased though haha come and say hi next time you see us.

They do course racing but I don't think anyone has organised one in Victoria yet.

Numbers won't be a problem. Just a matter of organising the thing
