Looking for interest in sharing a camper van (2 beds) for the week. I need one other person to split it with @ appx. $50/night each. I've not got solid confirmation from work yet but if I can, I'll fly up, and stay/drive in the camper van. Cheaper than a hotel and rental car.

Anyone keen? Loose EOI until work confirms that I'm free.

Still pretty marginal we got out 3 times this week but then it's all east this weekend and not coming back till tuesday. Looks pretty promising for the second half of the week unless Laurie is teasing us again. It has also been pretty varied up and down the coast with sandy bay having a couple of extra knots to graveyards. Well at least we are starting to get off the airships (10m) and onto the 7 & 8m, there was even a bloke on a 6m catalist on thursday.
From all the easterlies we've had this winter I would say they have had a good winter further north.

^ I'd take it, wind is still not guaranteed up that way, last year my 14 Thruster got the most use, I must admit it was very unusual conditions, (basically troughed out for a week).

The year before I was overpowered on a 7.5 Bandit a lot of the time and was even using my friends 5 New OS (great kite but def not the gruntiest 5 around) when she became too overpowered to kite.

onya dave it's not easy getting all this gear so early in the season.
We will have to post reviews on all the gear this year.
@ weta were always open, between 10am and 4pm and whenever we can over the expo.It's been a frustrating season so far but like I said before I have booked wind for the expo week, I got a 2 for the price of 1 for next weeks wind.

This is my little mate telling the world how upset he is that he wont be able to make to Exmouth this year He is commenting on how he is sorry he is going to cost his dad $1300 to get his other leg fixed (hence us not attending - second leg in as many months ffs!) - and he is really really sorry that he did it right when dad was about to buy another new kite
