Finally after 4 weeks we had wind what a blast.
waiting around all day at watching the wind reports 10Knots at 2.00 pm forecast was 20-25 its raining not good suddenly things start to change wind was on its way.its now 3.00pm I head down to wello 1 other guy there waiting no wind still, mins later it picks up you beauty only 15knots but enough.
and it only got better from there 20knots sailed 40mins after the sun set what a day.

Hey Vando... were u at Wello this arvo also!?... sweet one... I got down with my 10m Cabrhina, and it was about 20+ knots at about 2.45 or 3.00pm, but it was too gusty for my 10m and had to come in... but at least I got out,a nd up a bit Were you down near the so called 'beach' end where the other kiters and I were... I saw a few other wind surfers, but all the othee kiters cam down cuz the wind was sweet for them... Zebb, Grommie, Stewart, Libby, Troy, Mark, Henrie and some others I don't know yet...

Glad you had a gr8 time out... it was pouring down when I was there... a shocker but the water wasn't that cold with a wetty on and a half-top wetty... Gr8 winds for those kiters and windsurfers that could take it that strong... I need another size kite!! 6 or 7m I'll get that about Christmas time... yahs...

Later and glad there's wind somewhere in Brissy

Vando... I totally agree... the tide was excellent... every two weeks its a good one usually... Wow 3 diferent boards and sails... Yeah kiting is the same, but seeing I am starting off I only have the one of each! That's why I couldn't stay out there the whole time- my kite was too big - needed more like a 6m not a 10m with those gusts... Yeah water temp was pretty good, but then I did have a 1/2 long sleve wetty top, and a long legs and shoart arm full wetty on... and boots... so maybe thats why I wasn't cold It was cold once the weety ame off icy cold... and now trying to dry out the kite in the house cuz it was soaked and needs to dry...

Glad u had a good time!

You're a student right poley? How can you afford all this? I'm struggling to find enough money to get a second board/sail.

yer Poley your money doesnt go far when you pay $2000 for 1 board.
and then when you try and sell it a few years later you get nothing for it.
ta Vando

Yeah exactly Rhys... why not just stay at home... soo many less bills that's what I am doing even thought I am just 18 now... but why not stay at home for a few years ... it saves soo much more money...

I am a uni student now, but I work every other day I am not at uni(minus sat and sun), and then also work during the holidays doing the same job I love where I work, and it's heaps of fun! Which means I can save all my money to get my kite and baord... and all the things I need... I own all my kite gear from board to wetsuit... which was about $5000 for it all... so I am happy with that...Go back and live at home 4 a little while... its so much easier...


My next thing - Liquid Force Kiteboard and Wakeboard looks really good about $900 each .... so soonish lol...


Elizabeth - Wello Grommit

yeah... same here.. I didn't have enough time while at school to work, but I seem to have heaps of space time off now since I've started uni. I go to uni 3 days per week, now it will be 2 days cuz I got my timetable in 2 days just 3 years and 1.2 until I have finished it arghhh seems so long... luckily its gone fast hey.... but I like working in between - gives me something to do rather the uni work all the time - It's a time out...

Bachelor of Primary Education with an Early Childhood Major - Mt Gravatt Griffith UNI - 4 years full time study also! Hope it goes fast... Uni's so much easier than school, and so much more spare time to work and kite and everything else...
