Hey all! I am from out of town and I am in Perth this week until the end of Thursday. The forecast does not show anything kiteable for the next few days within a few hours of driving distance of Perth but I was wondering if the locals know/see anything I don't. Any advice will be much appreciated!

How did you go around the south coast?
I'll be kiting somewhere metro 4 to 6 ish tomorrow, reasonably confident it'll get to 15 kn tbh.
Today was actually 20kn by 7pm near cities

Well yesterday was a nice surprise. I ended up at Melville Beach Rd. just when the wind picked up and had a really nice sesh for over an hour. I think I cracked a rib though so I guess this is it for me for the next few weeks. I should get back to sightseeing :P

Nope the mask was not me. I was on an old brown/black/white Fone Bandit 3 kite. I did see the the ninja turtle man though. Everyone to their own eh?
