I am heading to there in the early morning. If anybody is going that time I am keen to share the ride and bear the whole travel expenses. I can arrange to be picked up from any train station you like.

The smallest kite I've got is 9 crossbow. I am not sure if I can keep hold of it all day? However, I know that some of our big bros enjoyed the ride with their 8m the Thursday before when it reached over 35 knots and I don't think it's gonna be any higher tomorrow.
Btw, seem that Thursday is our lucky stormy day!

This is the one from the weekend, the guy just left it there! The owner of the boat shed wasn't too happy

Morning session should be alright, bloody customers!

Be carefull guys, some big gusts have been recorded around the state and on the bay. Pack a small kite!

maybe its just easiest to ban north kites from going anywhere near beaches with solid structures, would solve 95% of issues these days

Looking forward to the photos of kites in trees down Peninsula way after today's very spiky wind.

Gusting from 10 up to 35 knots. Someone might get a free flight from Rosebud or Rye over the peninsula all the way to Tassy . . .

How was it today?

Readings looked gnarly...

Be careful. The photo looks like the kite is tangled around a power line - so would need specialist skills to remove safely.

If someone has just left the kite(s) that is not good. This type of incident could lead to kiting bans etc.

It would be best to call the local power network company I think, rather than the Council.

Good day today - lots of kites. No accidents. The rev in the tree is in pieces and won't ever be flyable again but still stuck well and good. The guys from Peninsula went across to try to get it out this morning with limited success. Word on the street is that an arborist did offer over a week ago, but the owner said no as the kite was no longer flyable.

RPM is still there.

Well some of it. Only about half of the canopy there - with the bladder hanging out.

Obviously the owner is a little embarrassed and doesn't want to own up.....

Come on owner, it's no big deal it can happen to anyone, just get the kite down!!
A local tree looper would have it down in about 10 minutes, probably cost you $50

Tell me how you go getting an arborist in for $50
