Watch the seaweed guys, drop ur kite in the ocean this time of the year and leave it toooo loooong in the drink you will be fighting with the weed to re launch ur kite!!
Anyone want to buddy up for a Metro surf this avo, my normal guy isn't keen. Finish work at 2pm, ill bring the big lense if the rain holds off!

Just been down the beach, not much swell yet, but it should pick up today

much ado about nothing so far... I'm still hoping for some action before nightfall... Last week here got to make it count.

you guys are lucky we got top teens here, was out alone at Pinaroo... so weird!
Today is what my kids call "an epic fail", the wind that wasn't.I kited mullas and came in just before it dropped, could have easily been caught out with a drop in wind like this arvo.

saw you with the white kite, you seemed lonely too...
I couldn't talk anyone into coming out with me : (
Yep, I too was lonely/ desperate
Turned out to be a bit of a non event, still managed to get a couple of fantastic hours in on the 12m at woodies though,

Sorry to hear your oz experience is coming to an end. Never quite met you! But all the best in your future places and I hope you have good memories of west oz to take with you mate.
Just a reminder for those new to storm kiteing..
Number 1. Carry a HOOK KNIFE !!!!!
If you see Squall coming towards you (the water will flatten out the wave peaks slightly with a white mist) it will hit the kite before you feel it on the ground/water !!
If too powerful, sit in the water with kite down on water at side of window - wait for it to pass (watch your fav brand jelly fish and distort like its freakn posessed :)
Cliffs on a beach, the UPDRAFT will be huge, keep one eye one the water/wind line always.. allways be ready to pull the safetys - fark the kite - save yourself...
Kite repairers will always be happier to see you.. R.I.P is not their favourite thread type!
Have fun jump big slash hard and bring back some tall yarns ;)

was really hoping my 5m would have turned up for today!
Cancel it and get a 4, just been down southbeach very solid swell, the is a perfect spot between the point and the slsc, big rolling waves and big butter flat sections inbetween, just had my aenometer up for 3mins gusts just over 40knts, poor shire workers are gonna be busy for a few days, the only place to launch is on the dunes
Just came in after the scariest 15mins of kiting, good fun fully depowered on the 6m very very stupid but glad i did it, still have adrenalin going through
I was down the beach at Lancelin half an hour ago, I recorded multiple gusts of 53 knots 
. There no kite point anymore and another big chunk of the windsurfing park is gone.

Is the Endeavour beer garden still there 
just been down Pinaroo and Mullaz, forget about it... no beach at Pinna with the dunes getting destroyed by the waves... Tomorrow it will have to be...

nahhh 5m fully powered would have gone huuuuuge, would certainly sort the men from the boys[}:)] but enough of the what ifs and what maybe's im off for some peeling waves on the 7 yewouw!
Think I'll head down to Melville after work for a look. 30 gusting 39knots NNW should be cross-shore from the right. Will be interesting on the 7! maybe time to buy a storm kite for winter.
My office is on Level 46 Central Park, faces NW and she's a rattling, whistling, humming thumping banging machine this arvo!

You might have come in just in time John... That nearly 50 knot squall that come through would have blown you away! Where did you go out?

Give me half an hour and $20 and I'll get back to you.
