nice spot besides the cold. Would love it even more if it was a right Still looking though

Looks like an Airush kite, its not plummet.

Its too cross off really. For me its a strange wind angle to ride waves. Its really hard to stay close in the pocket and wend you angle down the line its the perfect angle for a speed run so you end up cranking superfast.

Sounds like a perfect spot for a waveriding world tour stop then .

Yea gets like that down here mate at Peka in a cross off after a big onshore with a massive groundswell,have tried it 4 times,the first was a magic session the second was a sapped line and a kite recovery from 12 k offshore the third was a magic session but the fourth was the hairyest bloody wind spun directly off while about a k out took me a couple of hours to drag myself sideways a few k down the beach to make it in luckily it was spinning from cross off to off continually so managed to struggle all the way back.
After that we decided until we get a small inflatable we'd be best to flag it.

Is that Tai road?

Love those wild weather wave pics, if I can find some up in Townsville i'll post em. Until then hit me with some of yours.

i went to the goldy on the weekend, my first kite in probably three months.
was good to be back in the water... here is a couple from the downwinder i did.









Lets keep this thread going, i like looking at kiting pics while i'm at work!

well, winter usually means westerly's. this year i havent been as keen to chase them, and no daylight savings means my only kiteable days are the weekend.


lets see some more surf pics.

Ok not an awesome wave pic. This is onshore mush. But a Very sweet 20km down winder. cranked it out in about 30 mins averaging 40kph. Sweet little chop hops and some highish speed action.

Kinda looks like your barefoot. ... Tieside barefoot on a wave face.... that's some skill right there!

I was lucky to have some photos taken of me by kitebom .com.au /Pics of some great waves 2hrs from Melb Vic On 8m Rebel

A couple of shots from a memorable session in Dongara last year

This was a fun day too :-)
