I actually called it day yesterday at 12. Had already been out since 8! Figured plenty more to come.

Oh yeh on a 9m edge. Had to grow bigger balls, well yesterday at least.


Damn, I'm gonna have to change careers.





Well if you want to deal with snotty nosed know it all teenagers then go ahead.

Hey anyone watching the tennis. Janovic has some serious nipple action going on....just fabulous. Oh tennis is okay to if you dig women's tennis that is. Always wondered why they get paid the same and only play a max of three sets. TV rights probably driven by dirty old men like me watching the nipple action. Sorry ivanovic is the nipples one the other looks like an amazon monkey.


And u the one working with the hot teenage girls? :)) God forbid:)))

I was fully powered up on the 7 rebel at Melville on my Wam. A couple of guys were out on 12's no idea how they held on in the gusts.
Great session!


I thought the WAM was a surfboard???


It is, but its all I've got! I think I was the only person not on a TT...

Had a a sick session with a cool group on a down winder.
Then to make things better some nice guy took this picture of me and it looks like we are going to be doing it all again every day for the next 7 days.

I vaguely recall a thread about the season in WA being 'over'?


I wish the season was over all the time.


Nah! They were all still asleep in their vans! Had over an hour and a half solo before the first bloke appeared! Augusta wasn't that great, not enough east in it, came good around 5... Big day!

How good was that, just in from a solo DWer from city to trigg, no one on the water between city and scarbs great run maxed out on the 9m and SB, some great little waves on offer just begging to be smacked. Enjoy the coming week, it looks good.

Holy f**rk that would have been a massive trip on that day. Serious respect for you, you must be an awesome kiter. You must be well prepared I'm sure.

Some guys have been talking about a Gero horrocks down winder, with maybe a sleepover at corro. I'm still in my first year kiting, skills improving, but not sure I am quite ready for that trip, but would love to do it as I have a magic beach house at horrocks that could host an awesome post down winder party...

Good stuff..

I don't like riding the 9 on more than 27knots. It's a shame the 7m has a leak.

Got whipped a few times today, backs rather sore.

I'm glad she started to settle down towards sunset.

Yep it's getting pretty old and not very fun. In Perth now battling the crowds, had a good session at Melville yesterday arvo from 3-6:30, so much better not having to battle the kite in 35+ definitely one of the more memorable kites iv had in awhile

Just remember the photos of that blokes feet when you think a real big kite is a good idea in 30knots...

Loving the wind though! The 6m is on fire!

I had a fairly gentle after work session at Melville. I do love that spot, though the wind is gusty and no waves. So close to the CBd after work, but a really long beach so lots of space. You can park, rig on grass , launch off sand. I know it has its problems but I do not think there are many cities in the world where you can kite in such a special spot in full view of the CBd.

But I live in Gero, and the wind was going pyscho there according to the port seaview data today. Gero offshore just regularly smashes the forecast. It is one windy place.

We are blessed in wa.

Not only did Slack let me have a go on his board but he snapped a few great shots as well.



wind and fine white sand, what a combination.....it get's in.....everywhere, glad we weren't in my car ;)
