To Ben who helped me out at Woodies on Saturday - thanks heaps. I owe you a few beers.

no worries bro we all had our share of kitemares.. me more than i think.. mine are well self inflicted though. lol cant believe grace drove down to that beach my legs where F.U.B.A.R by the end of that massive upwind kite. did you walk back dude or get a lift? and i take it you found your board ok?

for everyone else, dont go to woodies offshore and expect to be helped out.

i dont know who u are but u were lucky there was a noob there to help u.

with more crowding riders of average ability will be less tolerated. As it is there are plenty of spots where people can ride back and forth, but few that are good for high level freestyle.

would you go out at tombies and crowd it up if you werent catching waves? would it be tolerated?

can i play?
I'll let you play with my puppies in return....

Same same today. Xoffshore at beach two. Flexifoil couldnt relaunch, lost his board, drifted past the groin heading for Rockingham. Pure luck the wind changed to SW just long enough to blow him into bottom end of beach one.
Offshore anywhere is just asking for trouble if you are not full bottle.
BTW - Magic day today westerly blowing as steady as any seabreeze.
Where were you all

your mums gay.

LOL

A well gay haircut it is!

I didn't go there expecting to be helped out, hence the thank you thread.

Carbine - your are unreal mate. You shouldn't have to tolerate anyone else in the water. Ever.

true dat

dirtyharry i didnt say u did. Im saying to people thinking about going to woodies dont go out and think if u do **** up that someone will rescue u/your kite/your board, coz they probably won't.

There are two reasons intermediate/beginner people shouldnt go out.

1. Its a frikken long swim/drift in through sharkyass dodgy water. Its even longer in a dieing seabreeze as the wind begins to shift southerly and even more offshore.

2. There are alot of gun riders who will get angry if u stuff there session up. Do your really want to piss off the Best/influetial local riders?

btw
I have heard from a few of the crew out that day that it was a frikken joke. It only takes one rider to stuff it up for the rest. dont be that one.

it

Dirtyharry.....

average ability riders like you should just stay completly out of the water!!

Cant beleive you were out there getting in the way of all that High level freestyle!

But anyway.... you've paid the price! - you've probably pissed off some of the Best/influetial local riders!

Well if your fresh into the sport <1yr. Unless your thinking of giving up soon, its not exactly a good idea. Whos going to give u a launch, whos going to lend u there pump, whos going save your life when your crossbow inverts, whos going to give u that patch to fix your kite, whos going to let u try there gear, whos going to give u tips to dial in that backroll.................

pay your dues then come to woodies offshore.

Personally I don't like it crowded. But seriously theres soo many places in Perth to kite, Woodies offshore is probably the most dangerous due to the wind direction and with people crashing kites everywhere on suicide leashes etc.

I rescue peoples kites and boards, and to be perfectly honest it is mainly the more advanced riders kites we are saving most of the time.

The problem with riding there as a kook is that if you stuff up you drift a very long way out to sea and is quite dangerous. Also your unlikely to understand the unspoked rules of the water, cut people off and put yourself in dangerous positions.

The thing is about woodies offshore is that its really only suited heaps for the pure flat water freestyle, if your not doing that then theres billions of better places to ride. When you get kooks who can't negotiate through traffic of up to 40 kites or more with many of them crashing everywhere you run into trouble. If you run into trouble at woodies you can be in deep ****.

Know your limits and your skills and you will be fine.

I heard if your kite rises above 45 at any stage during an offshore woodies session you'll get your lines cut by the best/influential riders bahahaha
