Yeh I got a kite what a good session it was. Down the beach at 9AM 20 knots already with the first glimpse of swell in what sems like ages. Hit the water on the 8M gusting to 25knots what a session, had to do it early as xmas lunch kiting and beers a plenty don't mix. Only 1 other mate out and then a couple of poley friends came out to share the xmas spirit.
Merry Xmas
EB.
BTW must be 30+ out there now.

I was a good boy this year and instead of a 7M Ion 3 I got some lounge socks, Kangaroo paws and a hand held blender.

What did I do to upset you Santa? No Rum and cookies for you next year I am going to buy my own presents ;(

No new kite, no new board, not even a new rash vest for xmas.
But I have been living in Perth for just over a year now, tried kiting a couple of years ago but really got into it since march. And I must say every day has been like xmas for me. All the guys have made me feel welcome and have been very helpfull down Safety Bay , Penguin Island, Shoalwater. I couldn`t ask for a better place to live. So I`d like to say a very merry christmas and a prosperous new year to you all.
And thank you santa, alias (perth doctor) for all the wind over the festive season!

I got to spend a week in Queensland watching the WA graphs and feeling jealous.

Home tomorrow though, plane lands at 17h35, I could theoretically get to the beach for a kite before sunset...

Last Christmas I joined two friends for a kite at 7am Christmas morning. There was a southerly blowing, and we went to Brighton, in Sydney (we were friendless orphans, all of us).

Not long after we got there, three separate groups of people showed up with new kites and family in tow, the boys frothing with the new christmas kiteys. It wasn't really windy - maybe 25kts at times, but it was gusty. And so we watched from the water as three brand new kites got trashed on the beach.

Just another day in Sydney.
