Hey everyone,

I thought it was high time to scope out spots to kite in the westerlies, and was wondering if anyone was headed to Primbee tomorrow for the wind?

I wanted to come along and watch how the locals tackle (from what I have heard) the tricky launch at Purry Burry Ave.

yer man. could be keen. not too sure if the wind is going to play ball tho.

Yup wind not looking too nice :( I might head around anyway just to check out the layout. Does everyone do a water launch? Doesn't seem to be enough room to do a normal launch.

What time you heading down? Ill try to get there

2 dragged across carpark and onto power lines on the weekend....yea its pretty hairy to launch...

More claimed by the power lines. We should get the council to put them underground n chop some trees down.

Council won't even build toilets so don't think about cutting our toilet trees down.

Read that there's been a large increase of blue-lined octopuses in the lake over the last few months. Anyone having experiences with these buggers recently or is it nothing to worry about?

Dragged across car park and on to power lines? Wow I'm missing out on some carnage! I'll be there next time the westerlies swing around again!

Bluering would be a mad pet.
Let me know if anyone gets one.
Ps. Dont get bitt.

Yeah I caught a little Bluering a few months ago.

I was standing in knee deep water the bridge and he was just drifting out with the tide, I scoped him up in my hat but I think that pissed him off

I let him go near the rock wall

Finally looking good early next week.
Looking forward to Mr Westerly to arrive.
