Rain bloody rain easterlys and southeasters . If this is the start of winter i am moving too an island up north . Is anyone really geting any wind out there cause this sux where i am . Is there a safari up north for kiter too camp for a week .

Hi, I am only learning too, started in December and have only just got to the stage of maintaing my position upwind, the easterly winds we have had lately in north NSW have been good for Balina River. Its only a small area but flat water was great for a beginner. Get a leash though as the current can be strong on an outgoing tide and don't go there if the water is dirty as it is a known Bull shark area

thursday.

Yer good on ya madsailor lets look at it for a second .... more BLOODY EASTERLYS There has got too be a good flat water spot between bris and glastone that you can kite on an easterly . Went out in that wednesday stuff and yep the ocean had become one big washing machine up down back front you know what i mean . ITS NOT what i call kiteboarding Just pownded me knees to pieces . Like i said easterlys SUX . Bring on October northerlys . LONG WAIT COMMING

What's wrong with S/Ers? Its good for your riding to get out in different/challenging conditions.
Nuthin wrong with a good S/Er... like you said long wait or some traveling to find warm Northerly winds again.. we got stuff all wind this summer.

There are good flat spots you just have too look

I'm tempted to get myself up there and try out these so called 'easterlies', (the ones forecast for Friday onwards). From what I can find out Shearwater and surrounding area is ok. Any better sugestions?

Yep, The Beach..... Its just across the road...

Lol, boohoo mummy I want flat water...HTFU and hit some waves and give the kite a flicky with a solid 25knot soueaster you may be pleasantly suprised by the delicious boost that is waiting for you.

how much wind do you want ? dont like it ? go back home sook leave the surf for the people that apreciate it

hey surface to air .
have you tried point vernon in a se wind ?
better waves , but still not great

Hey Dafunk . I am the manager of the pialba caravan park and this is the place i normaly kite . Right in front of the park which is the side of piont vernon that is were the prob is i get all the built up wind waves from frazer right through too us one big washing machine of wind waves good fun sometimes on an south easterly but only for short birst . Ideal winds are northerly clean and constant and you can crusie around in the bay for hours and hit some waves too but you also can ride between them too (give knees a brake) The bigest it has ever been out there that i have seen would only top at 3 feet . Got to go for a drive to get real waves .
