Think I need a smaller kite ha

Hey blownaway di would be no good anyway it is blowin the wrong way too work there .

hehe, it's great here too!

I had a blast over at Golden Beach from 10:30 till 12:00. Couldn't see anyone over on the bar at that time otherwise I would have sailed over. I hate being the only one there just incase something goes wrong. Tomorow should be even better hey, cheers Marcus

I just went out at Caloundra Bar on my 10m C4.

Was a bit ballistic but got some nice boosts in before i got sick of fighting the kite. Wish I had a 7m!!

Did 2 epic downwinders today the 8 rpm is so good eating up the gusts,some smokin big right handers out the back, Rob was maxed out on his 10 bandit doing the biggest boosts I think I have seen anyone do around here ever !!
sick sessions galore

winds been ok in Townsville, gusty and change of directions is not so much fun..

cyclone building in coral sea???

who knows more??

so do you think it could change the wind direction too northerlys . Low air goes clock wise in direction dosnt it

Bigger than these?

Did I miss something Dave? You said "I just went out at Caloundra Bar on my 10m C4." So you went out but I sence in your comment that I shouldn't have because it wasn't safe? If I'm not mistaken Golden Beach on an outgoing tide in 30 Knot SE is less power (wind in the same direction as the tide)therefore much safer to kite in? No prob's keeping upwind btw because of the wind speed. I'm just asking because I may have missed something that I need to know with kitesurfing that I am not aware of, safety speaking that is. I checked the wind speed at Golden Beach just before I riged up and it was showing between 20-25knots, maybe in the gusts I'm guessing 30+. I was useing a 10m Cab 09 switchblade and at times I need to power it up. Cheers Marcus

hmmmm
There was a reason noone went out today. Gusts were 10 knot over wind speed and conditions weren't safe

Even superloop Evan said no...

I think there's a moral there.

Hahaha...good on ya.

How come you were messing around inside the bar? There were such clean, gentle waves on the open beaches.....
