What the heck was going on in St Kilda today????!
From 13 to 61 knots in only a few minutes!
Holy f*ckin ****, I was never that thankful for having a uni exam, otherwise I would have gone out!
The forecast was for 30 knots, without any squall or thunderstorm warnings..

Has anyone seen it, was it like a huge roll cloud, microburst, or what?
Avalon was also decent with a 14 to 40 knot squall.

It's just the wind turning up for the season nothing new

Yeah maybe I am a bit faint-hearted, but 61 knots out of the blue would be too much for an old man.
My kite on the other hand is too young to die in a tree, and not being a Cab it is not licensed for that type of maneuver either.

A few of us got out after the main wild stuff went through.....
it was still a little loose.. Bar got ripped out of my hands a few times.....!

its amazing what you will put up with, just to get out on the water....
