Hey guys i am heading over to see the family over xmas . Obivously bringing my gear . I have a 10.5 and 13.5 obsession and a 136 cardboards FR and 141 underground tahee . Is it worth bringing both kites or would the 13.5 do me for most days .


Folks have a holiday house in wonthaggi so will be spending most of my time around inverloch and have heard many good things about the kiting down there . Can anyone down that way fill me in on local rules etc .

KBV website doesn't really have much information about anywhere other than St Kilda where i wont be going .

Hi Dusta,

Aorta is right bring both !

You know how murphys law works with these things ...

Bring the 13.5 only and it will blow 25+ every day

Bring the 10.5 only and it will barely crack 18knots

IMO bring both kites and the CB Board.

You can get away without a wetsuit ( I had my firts wetsuitless session of the season on Sunday ) .... But the wind can cause havoc if we get a southerly or sw it is usually quite cold and can feel like it is warmer in the water than in the wind..... If you have a wetsuit top it may be worth throwing that in just to keep the wind off the wet skin.

Bay temp is about 21 deg.

that link is a good one for winds and direction in the bay.

Enjoy your stay
