I was just about to go to Brighton but the last look at the graphs put me off, at the moment its blowing 45 gusting to 51 knots its too much for my smallest kite - 8m, but definetly going to St Kilda at 12, just must stuff myself with some more food

Was out at St kilda from 1-4pm yesterday seemed to be hovering around the 27-30 knot mark but very gusty. Great for this time of year and great fun.

Some dude was on a 12. Did not seem to be struggling either. I could not understand as I am heavy and would have struggled on my 12 (i was on a 9).

At one stage when the rain came it got up real high and was a little hairy. Seabreeze only recorded it as 35-36 gusts (felt higher though but it always does).

Saffer, really stupid question but is Ricketts Point, Hampton and Brighton good on a Westerly. Only ever kited St k on a westerly (probably because I am lazy).

Had a great session at Hampton; wind was around 30 knots Westerly. It was tough getting out through the shorebreak but once out it was good. Lots of steep waves, some breaking a long way out! Some photos and a video on my blog post for my session: www.peterskiteboarding.com/2010/04/hamptton-in-victory-at-sea-conditions.html
