I wait on beach, I try to surf, I wait, I get rained on, I give up, I pack up, I go home, I get home get dry get warm...THEN THE WIND SHOWS UP AGAIN! puk I hate winter.

I've been tricked by the wind SO many times this year. Well, about 4. I too am looking forward to kiting in boardies!

can't wait to kite in boardies again. Time to get to the gym i guess

Now that explains why people wear boardies over their wettie .... It reminds them of summer

Double steamer is the key to winter blues lol
We kited 4 out of 5 days last week, with the southerly newcastle was getting, cant feel the cold once numb!!!

I think I agree with you for the first time slave.

what?, anyway summer will be great. if we get another crap summer i will not be very happy. i like waking up and seeing blue sky and feeling heat=seabreeze!!

Summer seemed fine in Perth and Melbourne this year. Try living in London, then you know what a crap summer is. Actually, its been pretty good this week...

But, no such thing as the Fremantle Doctor or the Melbourne afternoon seabreeze. What's the name for the Melbourne seabreeze anyway? I think it should have a name, possibly something quite stylish like "La Tramontana" or "Le Mistral" in Europe. There is the "cool change" but that doesn't really sum it up, and thats only the breeze you get when it goes from 40 degrees to 30 degrees in an hour.

What are you all complaining about anyhow. Winter is a great kite season.
Used to be that only those heavily weighed down by massive testicles would dare to venture out in the buffeting and risks that winter kiting produced.
Nowdays with the gust busting ability of the huge depower kites riding in winter is not only managable and safe but really user friendly as well. Im having an awesome winter season on my REVS (well ie on my 9M REV - the 13 hasnt had a run for quite a while).
Still pays to watch the horizon but time-on-water, between the worst of the really nasty squalls, makes for an intensely magical blast of a good-time.
But yeah the chill factor really does suk - getting out is not very inviting some days.

it feels like ive been waiting forrevvvverrr

Stop winging. Come and talk to me when you've done 2+ years in Manchester - no summer, no sun, no beach, no kiting - then you can winge about no summer.

The end is in sight. October 26 here we come.

Lost in London - It has been pretty damn good this week.

'ken sovern fairies.

I did head south, spent a week in Cornwall and it didn't blow the whole time, had sessions booked and everything. Gutted.

I'm over it, 3 months and I'll be back in Paradise Perth. Hope I can afford it, I hear it's changed a bit in the last 2+ years.

Yeah, some of my mates say it has, some say it hasn't.

I moved there '99 and left '06.
It'll be interesting.

isnt it the freo docker?? not doctor??
someone told me once that it got its name back in the convict days when all the ships wanting to sail into perth had to wait at freo for the seabreeze to kick in so they could sail up the swan and doc in perth hence the name the docker?
if it is the doctor where did that name come from and what is up with the footy team being called the freo dockers?

thats messed up!!

so what is up with the footy team then??
