Nah it's a 2005 Cabrhina Element with Recon Gen 2 - But I needed the element because I am learning and don't need the high aspect ratio, only medium aspect... Yeah I think it's a quality brand kite and the board is excellent... But the next board I get I want the Liquid Force Aura Female Board... with the kiting straps and the foot-boots interchangeable... it looks like a sweet board... maybe christmas pressie... hint hint...

Got up on the board today for the first time & travelled about 5m super happy with that... it was way to gusty for my 10m and toos strong... but yah.. NExt sat or sun if its not windy iem back down 2 the cable park... bit sore now, but its heaps fun and gr8 practice...

Goldie on a SSE, Beachfront Currumbin main beach. If it goes SE lookout the Alley. It has had some great waves lately. And with this next weeks forecast for QLD. Cant wait.

hi elizabethb,

that blow at wello yesterday was almost the strongest wind we've had all year. It was rock solid for most of it. I can't believe how good your westerlies are. They are just as consistent as our southerlies. bloody crappy goldcoast

Hey haircut,

I heard about the wind at Wello on thursday... so stong even the best riders were overpowered... but at least u got out on a really good westerly... The westerly isn't that bad if u can handle it and the gusts...
Vando, were u at Wello today?
It's the southerly today that pulled me out a bit towards king island and deeper today... but it's all good At least I managed to get up and travel about 20m compared to the other day... just need some more practise... and thats the good part

Good winds

Elizabeth - Wello Grommit

Hey Vando... Ah --- That's it, I keep on forgetting that this is a windsuring forum, and not the kiting one

There were about 5-7 of us out there at about 12.30-2.30 or so... the winds were very inconsistant and quite strong for me... Ah yeah, you guys always seem to either stick to the jetty area or near the 'beach' there...
yeah yeah... brag about ur fins.. lol

ah poley... you think you're such a corker don't u too bad you really aren't... The thing is poley, it's not that their 'so hard to read' as you put it, it's that I talk to so many people on here on both the kiting and wind surfing forums and many of them write on both as I do...

Poley ... if you ever listen to me mate, I am doing Primary Education with an Early Childhood Major ... maybe you need 2 do primary again poley.. laters mate... all in good fun ... hope u have wind where u are...

Yes. Waterloo bay is what wello opens out to. On a northerly you generally sail from wello to manly. I think its about 3km across. Nice long runs :)

Cheers

naa it was all flooded with no rain so we left it allone

I remeber when i first moved over to the Goldie 9 years back and i was under the impression there was no wind to be had. how wrong i was. by then it was too late as i had sold up my epoxy slalom board. i now have a tiga which does me just fine.

I do miss sailing Woodies northside. if any of you WA lads see a guy name Ivan or see Ian at sails and windurfing, tell em Skinny said Hi.

Yeah Justin, thats a good point. parking is just a pain the the rear on a busy day down The Train.

sometimes you have to resort to parking on the parkland next to the carpark. has anyone been booked by the GCCC for doing that?

It looks like a Southwester on Sunday. I think i'll run south to Flat Rock and get some waves. Smack them lips and get some air!!!! The SW will probably puff through at 8 knots now. But "let there be waves". Big bottom turns. Crazy wipeouts and long swims. Yes I am desperate for some waves!!! Heeeeeelp!!!

Spoke to Nicholas today. He sounds keen to go to Flat rock with you Tony.

If it's got any west in it I will head to wellington pt. Looks like it's gonna be a bit nipply

Monday arvo looks good too.
