Dodgy old troop carrier, 2012 black/yellow/red C4s and blue 2013 edges. Ill be doing some photography too, check out some of my work at http://www.swagmansstudio.com.au (tourism>cocos is the most appropriate)

Although the SW did arrive a bit late, its the first one I've seen thats made it north past the Tantabiddi boat ramp.

I am flying a microlight for Gav, at Birds Eye View microlights so I get to see whats happening from the air.

Frothing for some action....

Check your hire car policy. Beyond the Lighthouse caravan park is a no-no for some and others will charge a fortune if you hit anything ocean side. There are kangaroo's under every bush at dusk and dawn, so take it easy.

It has been flat as a tack the last few days. Great for fishing and whale watching, gotta look at the positives

.

Muggy today.

^^ Nah didn't find anything for the sharks to eat although I think I got bitten off by a blowie twice and spent heaps of time trying to find new ground.
I think next trip might have to be chasing bananas in the shallows you know where

hi, no1 rule imo is don't get involved teaching family, tom and jana have a kiteschool set up in Exmouth, being locals they know plenty of great spots to teach the kids, leaving you to go ripping, toms school is iko and uses the latest gear, I think he trades as exmouthkite centre, drop him an email and he will fill you in with the best spots, ive been kiting for a long while and if you asked me for the best spots to learn or progress Exmouth would be up there, enjoy

arriving on the 28th just hoping the wind is in by then
Been promising myself I will get up here for a number of years so finally done it and cannot wait.

planning on kiting, kiting, snorkelling, trying to sup and more kiting

If any one wants to hook up drop me line.
( kiting skills - still call myself a newby but perhaps I am a stage up from that this is the season to learn how to jump)
