You went out!?!

Sheesh .. I just went and had a quick look at the beach, and it's awesome! It's a real buz when the weather turns it on like this.

Gusts were coming through that were easy to lean into .. can't imagine putting up my 6 in it .. looks like a strapless waves session is not on the cards!

Pyscho weather. Yeeeeeewww!

Regularly over 40knots, and gusting to 50...

Just had a great sesh at Dutchies on a 6m Reo, never thought I'd ever have that kite 100% depowered. That's when I decided it was time to come in.


awesome. I've been there before. i recon its pushing 50 knot gusts when your fully depowered on the 6 reo.

Just got back 30 knots on average. Balls are have the size they were.
6.5 Gypsy was fun. self land was a bit scary, wet suit in wash as there was a brown smear on the inside after the landing.

Dave it is secret spot never seen anyone else there in 10 years.Took a mate there once and he GPS it so while he was getting changed i deleted his memory card in the GPS.
He did on my boat once at one of my best crayfish sites and once again deleted the memory card again.
Lucky he is a great bloke.

Must be plenty of carnage around town, and probably a few houses with newly installed sunroofs.

Hope all kiters make it back to land ok, as it is perilous conditions .. some powerful bullets coming through.

It's windy enough to blow a brown dog off his chain.

Dave it is in and around Perth you may be able to see it out of you office but i don't thinks so. Perth bound at the moment. Next time away is Manotu island unless something good comes up.

I think that picture was taken yesterday, I took this down there at about 1 pm



Must take a fair bit to close the beach, there was still a safe swimming area here.
These guys were even checking that there were no kiters in between the flags .

Well you are teasing me ugly, but I'm not biting. I kite up at horrocks beach, mostly on my own and totally hang out for company. Love kiting Melville when I am in Perth. So sorry, I don't get the secret squirrel business.

I could talk about spot x aka oakagee too... But that's another story.

Enjoy your secret spot!
