Looks like we have some good wind to look forward to this week though. Pity most of it is during work hours.

looks like a bit of light wind fun.
Here in NSW we have had southerly for the past 3 or 4 days, I've had a couple of pretty good sessions, had a two hour sesh today in 15-20 knots, got sore knees from too much jumping!

.Yesterday was a cracker in what has been a usual crap autumn with the odd day here and there ,Some guys out having fun.I had mothers day duties (wife ,my mum,wifes mum and sister its a big deal)and when leave pass granted the crappest part of the whole day coincided wind wise dropping off for 1 hr .I noticed when I got home wind picked up again just aftre I left (It was pretty dark by then)

Leave the winter woolies in the drawer, whack on a pair of boardies. The tropics are only just up the road and the rednecks round these parts are mighty friendly.

It is that easy. 'Oh, one more thing, you can believe a fair amount of the bad reviews and ridicule that the Far North has received, but it's not painting an accurate picture of what people are missing out on.

Make sure you explore the options North of Cairns. Simply some of the best conditions in Australia. And yes there are waves. Up to 2 1/2 metres on an ordinary day. Not the supreme dreamy surf conditions that you can expect elsewhere but some pretty decent rides none the less.

Anybody who has managed to make the trip have been left with a new appreciation of what the Remote Far North has to offer.

Options around Port for incredible outer reef trips are another way to get the most out of your experience in the North. In no way is this a promotion of any company or organization that operates up here. Plenty of backpackers and local guys and girls make the most of our beautiful back yard on a budget. But let's face it, some times you do get what you pay for and if some one is prepared to outlay there life in order to give people new opportunities and experiences good on em'.

In short, if you have a little spare cash, the water is freezing and the winds are fickle it's easy to get a world class experience on a budget.

Well i busted my wrist so i enjoy this no wind period haha[}:)]

Surfingboye, id like to see u landboarding on ur second attempt in 2 years. i am sure u wouldnt be pullin much more, it bloody hard to pop in 10 -12 knots on land with a landboard with trucks which are suuuuppperrr loose.

I thought WA was supposed to b the ducks nuts for wind. Here in(aparrently sh!thouse NSW) I have been getting out at least 2-3 times a week since feb. This thurs-sun is forcast for 20-35 knot westerlys. My mrs is getting the sh!ts, I told her two months ago the season was over but the windy days just keep on coming!

I just made it coz i had the footage and i just thought i would post it aswell as the topic. I dont get many chances to do landikiting becasue if it is windy i just go to stk beach which i can walk to (i dont drive yet so its my only option haha) what kinda editing do u suggest?

ewan

try that

hope my wind picks up it looks like it might be
