Hey, have much luck today? We headed out but the wind was a non-event, I'm 70kg and struggled on a 14m.. Have you seen tomorrow, afternoon looks promising!

North Haven. You go down Australia II drive to get there. Need a saksa tag! It works best in a northerly wind cause you get strong winds and flat water. It's right next to the sea wall so very sheltered in a northerly! Wicked spot!

From what I have been told, you just need to have an aksa tag.

eg. any association who gets thier membership from aksa.

So why's it called the wall? Just because of the northern breakwater leading to Outer Harbor?

Anyone going to be there this arvo?

So I went along after work, and realise of course that asking if anyone was going to be there was a stupid question. Should have asked if anyone wasn't going to be there!

Anyway, got one short tack in. Tried to go the other way, messed up, dropped the kite and couldn't relaunch it in the dieing conditions. Swam back to shore with a little help of a tow from a passer by (thanks!).

All in all probably the most frustrating session ever. I can see why everyone loves it there though. So much easier for a beginner when there are no waves.

Does the much shorter breakwater at the other end of the beach have a similar effect? Would have to be something like a SSE I'd imagine.
