Yeah I had a great day. Was up at Peggie's at about 10. The tied was a bit high so I had a windsurf for a couple of hours , had lunch then kited on low tied for a couple of hours. !! Wind was solid, stayed a consistent 25 knt. I'm wrecked,just sitting in the lounge having a beer now !!

Good luck in your quest Matt . Im thinking of trying out Shoalhaven heads rivermouth on Sunday, if that SE that's forecast stays true it probably wont be too bad there. I know that southerlies aren't as strong down there as up at the Illawarra but for some reason when it goes SE there just as strong down there as up here.
Edit : BTW had a kite at Werri this arv. Gerroa was $hit Berry beach was $hit . On way back noticed that Werri had some decent wind there , must have been because the wind was a bit more north than normal . Wasn't too bad

Gunna make you guys jealous. Just had 4 days in Gnarloo. Now I can see what all the fuss is about WA. Recuperating now, in Gerro as legs and body could only take so much. Was possible to kite for up to 7 hours each day.

Hey Matt, yes but not big. 4/5 foot and slightly less each day. However, even at that size was pleasant....very keen to return.

Bellambi graph is very accurate for southerlies,very inline with what happens at peggies. I made it down to the heads Sunday . It was 10 knots and pi$$ing down rain. I sat at the entrance huddled under me kite talking $hit with me mate for an hour waiting for the wind to pick up , then packed up everything wet and went home. That was my camping trip for the weekend

any of you lads heading down to the bws kite clinic this weekend?

Got my name down. Hope to get there tho. Might have to go shopping with the wife. Pfft
Just had a look at the website and it says for Sydney. TBA for the date - due to bad weather.
Which one are you going to?

Ben reckons they are canning the Sydney one on Saturday, as the forecast looks sh't.

Obviously, they hope the mid south coast will work.

SE wind is not a good situation for that part of the coast.

There is some chance but "heaps" (weather issues) will depend on if it's a goer or ??? ...

Yeah I'm planning on heading down to Tabourie on Sunday

Anywhere Saturday if there's wind

yeah the wind was up and down all arvo...
Ben got into the instructional around 11 and that was pretty much a run down for all levels on the 'fundamentals' of wave kiting...
if you've seen the 'Smack' dvd, very similar to the topics and content in that.

he launched one of his kites a couple of times and talked about kite positioning and unhooked basics...

the wind was starting to kick in so i was a bit distracted watching one of the kiters having fun. ben wrapped up and everyone pumped up.

most of the fellas put up kites around the 8-9m mark. i went my 10 and felt pretty underpowered.
waves were tiny but clean.

was a good day, ben and his crew are a great bunch of blokes...

hopefully wind next weekend for merimbula classic.

nah, i didnt give any of the bws gear a go...
i felt it just wouldnt of been fair testing conditions.
hopefully next week down at merimbula.

Nice work !! Easties was pumping today , 25 knots good swell , can't get much better. BWS boys were up so got to ride the noise pro all Arvo, pretty stoked with how it went. Hopefully tomorrow is on as well.
