How was it?

Photos?

Wind never really made it that far North, One guy had a go and ended up swimming into Lighthouse bay....

Strange as Graveyards was howling,

I ended up having to work but am keen to here how everyone went, would have been a big afternoon for sure......

^^ That's hilarious! I'm in the same boat, guess what time and date I sail back in from work,.... You guessed it, midday Tuesday! LOL!

We had wind Sunday to Wednesday. Thursday was a sandy bay family Fck around day. Wind yesterday and the next three days. Then tues wed for some more family fun, then heading back Thursday via dongora... Only thing we haven't had is some decent surf. Hoping Monday. Been a bit of everything. Cloud cover this morning, weird.

Surf looked good this arvo (Sunday) Eppo. Hope you made the most of it,

Hey aspiremr
My kids are at dunes now, been here since 6 this morning, not too big this morning, but the tide is out at.

Thanks Juicerider. We ended up at Wobiri and it was awesome. My first time up here, what a magnificent place to holiday with kids. Wobiri was perfect. I ecven tried supping in waves to the entertainment of everyone on the beach I am sure. Balance is much harder when I dont have a kite to haul my ass back up when i overbalance.

That's how it was for me the missus and the young lad but other than that it wa awsome :-) our laptop was in the caravan and is knackered so can't put up kiting pics for now but will do soon :-)

Dan, when you told us the story over a beer at graveyards on the Saturday arvo I couldn't believe it!!! great to kite with you as well buddy.

Eppo I did try suggest to te pilot to fly past graveyards this arvo to give use a bit more wind haha gotta agree Exmouth is awesome. Must do for a kite holiday !!

I've been here 3 days now, my first ever trip this far north. No wind to get excited about yet, but what a stunning spot regardless. The beaches are sublime, it's warm, the water is warm'ish and crystal clear, and great small waves for the kids to play in. I think we'll manage to have plenty of fun on the down days, and when the wind arrives it will be sweeter. Fingers crossed it gets here soon.

Where is the pick of Caravan parks? I've done some "rustic" camping up that way but think of taking the family next year. Is The Lighthouse the way to go?

My preference is Yardie creek myself. Close to graveyards (4km away) and closer to the park for daily visits. Apparently Jason was telling me the water is prettt ****e at lighthouse as well, pokey sites.

Post some pics to bore you lot when I get back Friday.

^^^^^ cheers

awesome mix of nuking 6m and twintip blasts, some fun as wave kiting, epic bombie sessions on SUPs with just 2 other mates, few fun dunes sessions, plenty of pushing the kids into waves at wobiri and loads of beer. beautiful place on earth.

Agree with you mate stayed in both, Yardie much friendlier and kitchen area much better not many emus walking through camp but plenty Roos at night

Just gotten home from an awesome fortnight. Even though the great big trough parked over the top of us the entire fortnight, meaning no true seabreezes, we still managed 7 kites across 6 locations. THe advantage of being able to kite either side of the cape means on cross offshore that doesnt work on one side is perfectly kiteable on the other.

Amazing spot, and to get so much kiting in during a non windy fortnight was a boBus. For sure, those of you who are expert kiters and wanted epic down the line conditions and swell may not have been as excited, but for a confident beginner it was just amazing.

Love the place, will be back again next year for sure.

Thanks Tom for the few insights on the best places to go in different conditions.
