Hey all, super keen for a downwinder this weekend.
If you are keen for a kite let me know.
I am only on the Sunshine coast for 2 days, then fly back out to Mt Isa.
Noosa to Old Woman Island looks good.

Sounds good, we have a low at 10am and a high at 4:15pm.
I know you are refering to tide, but how does that have any impact on the ocean downwinder??
Low tide is better than high tide,water is smoother due to it being a lot shallower
and there can be sand banks with shallow gutters on the inside,I've done this DW plenty of times
but finnish at Castaways or Sunshine Beach, 
need to go round Pt Perry, 
Its not that hard 
Althought I would not recommend going all the way to Noosa
Stop at Castaways or Sunshine Beach'
There would be a big wind shadow once you got round pass Hells Gates and started going pass Noosa National Park in a south wind
Would need to stay right out wide in a Southerly wind
If the wind was from the east would be a lot more doable 
Start at Mudjimba Beach or could start at Cotton Tree at Maroochydore
if you want to go the extra 4-5 km 
Once we finnish ,just catch the bus back to where we started ,
no need to be organising and dropping off cars, 
just meet at Cotton Tree or Mudjimba do the DW and jump on the bus back,
too easy
I would prefer to start at Cotton tree,the stretch between CT and Mudjimba is often the smoothist water 
due to the wind being most side shore because of the curviture of the beach 
Get the bus back to the Plaza and walk back to Cotton Tree
Dont forget your Travel Card if you have one
Best ask the locals what time is best!
Looks good from 11am onwards.
If it's happening, might jump on the bus and do another downwinder.
Need to make the most of it!
See what the wind is like on Saturday morning
Thinking maybe 10:00am
If the wind is up early can kite the Maroochydore Rivermouth on the run out tide
Till everyone arrives

Are we all happy to meet at Cotton Tree head north to Casterways?
Meet up around 10am?
16knots at 10am, So i think that should be ok.
I have a Yellow 11m Fuel, come say hello.
Cool, ive never kited there before, where is the rig up area? Just out on that spit? anything i should know about the spot?
ok sounds good ,I will probably be on a green and orange 9m Best
Will be with 2 friends 1 on a 13m Ozone Edge
and the other on a 10m Ozone C4
Dont think there will be too many people kiting in the rivermouth as the wind is the wrong direction
Should be able to find each other ok
11m Best cabo or 8m best ts, depending on wind speed. Both in gay colours. I'll have the wetty with one leg shorter than the other - yes, I'm special. :)
See you lads there.
I'll be rocking up around 10 and play around the river mouth until everyone is ready.
Fantastic day kiting yesterday,4 of us started at Cotton Tree and finnished at Sunrise Beach
Probably around 37 km I think, going round Pt Perry was no problem, plenty of wind
I advised the guys to go out wide around the headland,
dont want to end up on the rocks if something goes wrong
SibboVI took it SO wide ,Think he went half way to New Zealand
Underoath took the award for dropping his kite most and been washed up on the beach,
Usually I get that award 
But he was doing backrolls and backroll kiteloops coming off the waves,
crazy WA
Did not see much off Greggor ,He was a the rear of the pack most of the time,think he was hanging back to pick up our boards or help if
we got in trouble ,he was the youngest and most senible,he would make a good kite instructor
2 other friends joined us at Mudjimba and kited to the Boardwalk Mt Coolum
one still has a bad ankle from a bad landing 2 months ago 
wind was 16-20kts SSE side on,waves up to 1.7m
thanks for coming
Sounds like a sweet session........with some nice breaks on the way up I hope?
Bit choppy and gusty on the Goldy but fantastic day nonetheless!
Was a great day and really enjoyable when the wind picked up around Coolum. Maybe I brought the wind back from NZ? haha
Was a good day, Had a blast carving up some waves on the twin tip. You guys were really powering downwind, a couple of times i looked around and though damn i better get my arse into gear and catch up especially after SibboV1 went to NZ. Keen to do it again
