Guys

Wind permitting, im going to make the most of the end of season and spend most of the weekend down south.

possibly get together early have something to eat, while we wait for the hangover to die down and the wind to pick up.

Could be Sat or Sunday or both.

Reply if your keen.

If your only new and havent met any of the guys before come down and say hi.

I usually park in from of WA Surf and walk out from there. Might not be the best spot though, I don't think there are any picnic tables.

I suppose you are right. Mods can move it if they choose.

So what time are we doing this? The wind looks decent from around 3 as of now. We could get together a bit earlier than that.

Fark that was a good day for kiting. Saftey Bay was blowing pretty much straight onshore but was good fun. Lots of learners out floundering (like me) but it remained pretty orderly. On guy crashed his kite across my lines. I just put mine down on the wingtip and drifted downwind a bit. I was still making my way under his lines when he decided to relaunch. Just a couple little line burns but not too much worse for wear.

Finally managing to keep upwind and having heaps of fun. Thanks to Mike @ WA Surf for the hardware when one of my straps popped off. Saved my session. I got in another hour and a half because of your help. Note to self, check fasteners every few session.

Gutted. I'm off work, the forecast looks awesome later this week, and I'm having both my feet tattooed tomorrow. I don't think I'll be getting my feet into my footstraps for at least a week.
