That was "I'd rather do house work" wind for most in Margies.
You will know when it's on. Weather pattern last fortnight has been funky down there, hopefully on the mend though.

thanks for replies guys

Safety Bay with only 15 knots still would have seen 40 odd crew out on a sunday so I was a bit surprised/ disappointed.

For me it would have been a good first session there but the lack of crew put me off - maybe it was cos the wind was gonna drop I dunno - forecast was wrong anyway so unless you actually went down there you would have thought it would be only 10 knots or so.

Bit of a bind for intermediate rider options down here it seems. Dont wanna charge big reefies in 30 knots just yet....

I hear you Bara,

Same situation: intermediate kiter, first season down here, coast looks pretty gnarly compared to perth.

Take your time, find some friends, don't kite by yourself.

Was talking to a local yesterday and he reckons most crew here his size (80 kegs) are on a 7m which seems pretty damn small to me... Goes to show that they only go out when it's really honking.

Have fun when it's on :-)

Yeah a 7m kite says it all i guess. my smallest is a 10!

Try Augusta next time if you're up for a drive :)

Thanks Pauly yeah kited Augusta week and a bit ago - awesome spot - loved that flat water but 90k round trip gets in the way of it being too regular. Will defo be back when the forecast looks good but SW probably not the right direction im thinking?

yeah SE is the best for Augusta

You gotta remember Bara that if the surfs good in the morning, many would have taken that opportunity as the preferred alternative to an arvo kite.
