Don't jinx it mate, but yes I'm due a wave ride surely? Everyone put off buying new kit until next Monday

Ive been watching the forecast too, but didnt want to get too excited given the repeated times we have been skunked on the weekend. As Pilchard said, i hope you havent jinxed it Richard cause a wavesail, let alone any kind of sail would be most welcome.

No comment

Prey to the wind gods!

Relax! We have ensured every Sunday between now and August will be windy simply by organising a wave contest that starts in August :-)

As long as we get a sail!! Who cares where! just ASAP can it please be windy!

You're right, I'm still waiting to try the waveboard I bought in Feb!

I hope your right

The BOM computer models are crap at 7 days and consistantly fail to deliver even 3 days out.

Watch the Code (a mathemetics documentary not sure which episode) theres a section on computer weather modelling - you'll never believe another 4+ day weather forecast again. Not sure if you can still access it - youll get it on a new Qantas jet flight entertainment as well!!

Seabreeze consistantly drops from a day of green arrows to red over a 7 day period as well.


Yesterday - 15-20 and 20-25 on SCC - 10 knts tops

As the horse trainer on TV recently said - weather forecasting is one of the few jobs where you dont get fired no matter how wrong you get it

But hey its the weather - and its unpredictable.

I'm away this weekend, so Day Street will be going off! Enjoy people...

This winter has been a dodgy one. Days when the forecast look really good and you arrive at Day Street to find a near glass off.

Stiff wsw at mid at the moment with a good snapper tide if anyone up for a blast - not sure how long it will last though

If I can remember how to rig

Edit: was fun for half an hour but fudded out quickly

Just thought I would throw it up that on Sunday at Middleton is the kitesurfing state titles.

Hopefully they don't take up all the beach...

Cheers,

Luke.

Plenty of room for the baggies

We usually sail at the end of Chapman road so as long as they stay in their designated comp zone nearer the point there shouldnt be any problems.

If theres wind and waves its gonna be busy

why would kiters have states at middleton? last kiter i saw out in a nwer down here needed a helping hand to be dragged back in.

why would kiters have states at middleton?

Because the Forecast is terrible on the mid.

See you all out there

Lets hope for a nice NW wind...

So what happened??

Some had a great time, some got worked, some got the flu... Video shorts coming....

Great day wave sailing, apart from some kiters who got in the way !! they really are idiots of the sea !

Was good fun today, great to get some waves. Fingers crossed its the start of a run of wind on weekends.

So you will be happy if I turn up on the day of your State tiles and ride in front of you?

The comp was to the right, up wind ??? not in the middle of where we were sailing !!

You are obviously very uneducated. Why dont you turn up and kite in the middle of our state titles cause im sure someone will be more than happy to give you an education.

Come on folks
settle - settle

Maybe Hobie1463 should stick to the Kite forum then there wouldnt be any issues

If you dont stop it I'll send you to your rooms without any dinner










And we're having Pie!!!

What Flavour?

Pie flavour!!!!!!

(P.s if you dont have kids this will make absolutely no sense)

yes, nice rack mrs simpson

no love lost between both forms of wind powered craft up north i see
everyone wants to be on that perfect bank between chapman rd and day st, the rest of the coast just does'nt compare i guess.

i was stoked with my 4.7 being fully powered up on a little chest high, side/side off day at browns
nice to finish a sail due to lack of energy rather than a lack of breeze

enjoy bali grumpy

few nice ones today. Harrys still crook so solo sesh.
where were ya Timmy-dont tell me- the mid was firing - 3 foot with 4 foot of chop across it?

look at the length of those walls fizzing away!.... epic

came in windy here at 10am til about 3pm, i was close to heading home sick at lunch with 20k+ itis.
your shot is making me feel ill now for not calling it
