This is my second summer in WA, last season I kited loads and was surprised to hear everyone moaning about a crappy season. I'm pretty sure I've kited more this time round so are you calling this season a good one because if not i can't imagine much better, geraldton especially has been sooooo good in the last few weeks. :-)

Yep

3 hours today on top of a sup & 4 hours detailing the car & i'll sleep well tonite.

IMHO it's been a great season compared to the previous two but i do remember when i started in 09 & then 2010 we would have 6 or more days of consistent seabreeze the northern lows/cyclonic activity seem to be moving further south.

Today around 2:30-4:30pm was great consistent wind with swell gotta love it.

out of the last 3 seasons inclusive, this has been the best

but more like a "regular" Perth season.. nothing special

particularly the second half of this season has been good compared to the last 2. The last 2 had good starts but bad troughed out ends

just came back from the physio - sorting out my weak ass left forearm from over use dry needling - feels great!

i laugh when people start posting in feb " season over" "is this a good season"


The season is still going , there are still green arrow days , there have been more easterlies this year than previous years . Personally the season has been better than in the past but i would stop at calling it an awesome season . Definately had more 20+ days than last year .


But the season is still going and there are still more green arrows forecast .

Two very different questions there, I mentioned nothing about season over. But hey, you keep on laughing ;-) :-)

A quick stat from our school to help answer your question, last year from October 1st to February 28 = 93 teaching days.

This year from October to February 28 = 109 teaching days. So this season would be better by 15% thus far or 16 more days of wind.

Good stats. The 16 extra days could well be that 17 or 18 days in a row stretch (was sweeet) we had in jan this year. The 2 prior, from memory, were pretty disapointing.. This year back to normal perhaps. Fingers crossed for a longer season like 08/09. Just wish we still had daylight savings which would make time in the water easier.

Can't believe we went to a referendum on that.. Can't expect the general population to make Intelligent informed decisions. Although probably having it right through to end of march was its downfall
