Wind was ok

Only a short walk to the Rail Station from the beach

LR is unreal,only need to wait 2-3 mins both times

Only trouble with it, was I was still wet while on the train no sun today

still dripping,floor was wet

Must of got photographed 20 times today

Japanese tourists hanging on the beach with Ipads and cameras and Phones

Took your advise dafunk

I downwinded from Broadbeach to Seaworld twice

And caught the bus back

The light rail does not go that far

" Clubies were having a big carinval at Surfers today I went straight thought their arena twice accidently "

Life of Brian style - "you are a naughty naughty boy" - They used to chase with IRB if they feel stressed - When I made the SE QLD kitesurfing map on google the number of SL towers along the beach zone was a surprise.

Watch out for those tourists - they just nab you - this happened during first kitejam to Tristan coming in for a pit-stop..


-- From 17-24 secs

Well you could have had a "struggle dwinder" on the sunny - I used my V1 Sector 60 and 13m but I find it hard to surf on that board - it is g8 fun but v.wide.

Good to hear Ur moves...

Have done 4 downwinders over the last 2 days,no wind here on the Goldy yet today

And I have not seen anyone doing downwinders here

On Friday the wind was OK and there where only 3 other kiters I saw

Weekday,most kiters at work

But on Saturday the wind was unreal,there where probably 12-15 kiters out

But no one except me were doing DWers

They were just kiting out and back

Nearly everyone who kites at the beach on the Sunny Coast does DWers

Clubbies were having a big carnival at Surfers today I went straight through their arena twice accidently



In my defence, the first time I went through I saw a large group of people on the beach at Surfers, thinking it was just normal for a Saturday

It wasn't until I turned my head to look out to sea to see 20 clubbies on wave skis heading towards me that I was in the middle of a SLS carnival

And the second time I noticed about 6-8 surf paddle boats on the beach ready to take off

I headed way out to sea [ didn't want to get mowed over by a bunch of clubbies in surf paddle boats ] eeeeeeeeewwwww

I was out near the cans,about 1.5km from the beach

And the IRB came over and advised me nicely that I was in the SLS arena

Dont think the Sunny Coast has events like this

Might do a long DW on a windy,cloudy,stormy day and be lucky to pass 5 people on the beach on the Sunny Coast

So many helicopters in the sky above the beach yesterday
