I so wanted to go out today......bummer, cold and wet.

Damo you are in the right place....nothing nice about the weather here at the moment....disappointing forecast after disappointing forecast. Caught 30 minutes yesterday in NNE, maybe 18 knot gusts.....sun was out though.

See what Wednesday brings.

Going through major withdrawal.

just drove past.
Some heaving swell coming in at Cables, five guys out on the inside two in the shallows.
Wind is pretty onshore with slight south.
One guy looked to be doing ok rest looked to be struggling. All on 9m i think. iI did not feel inspired.

Given up for the day i think.

Its cold, wet and cold and cold and wet.

Tomorrow maybe

I am stuck on an Oil Rig for the next 2 weeks and I have just got a brand new thruster kiteboard... MURPHY's Law.

Hopefully when I get back morphy's law would have gone and I will be greeted with good winds.

Enjoy the winds!

I sat in an overhead barrell at Leighton Tuesday arvo, and the whole beach was mine. Hence nobody can confirm that I was getting covered up........

Soooo much fun.

only one other kite at woodies and they went out as we where coming in, alright conditions. Finally got some waves [to use as kickers] on my better side but I was a bit overpowered. Rode a lunacy when rescuing a mate and think i might go buy one but it might just be that my kite and board combo sucks at the moment or i need fins again as i could go upwind about 5 times as well.

Ahh, so that was you! I don't actually know who you are, but i saw those pictures of you everyone has spread around this forum and i thought to myself "Hey, that looks like the dude that was at woodies yeasterday".

Yeah it was ****. I came from work and only had my 7m with me, so i got 20 minutes of teabagging in my fight against gravity until gravity won about 200m out and there wasn't enough wind to get planeing and get back to shore. Looks like the conditions were good in the morning though.

Today is looking a whole lot better. The Cott buoy has just spiked over 1.2m and the wind seems to be smoothing. Going to hit it up this afternoon.

Anyone heading out?

unchained was the guy getting a tow in after his leash safety went. i never really taught him how to roll the kite up in a self rescue, just the sit inside it and drift bit. i have a great photo of his bar but don't have the thing for the computer so can't upload it.

I was on a 12 so couldn't understand why you chose a 7 so thought you might have been a kook and really had us worrying when you went up wind of us aye
