So its blowing a gale here - dead south. I am trying to do some work at the table, the great race is on in the background but I can not help watching the kite surfers go nuts out the front on the lake.....




this bloke looks a little confused / annoyed.....



But you can sort of see why - poor fella but its a right royal mess. I have heard stories about people getting their kites stuck but watching it unfold in front of my eyes is almost amusing. Yeah I feel for him but There must be 30 people now watching so I am not alone..........

Are those powerlines in the picture?

Kites have been known to take a whole district out.

Doubt it, future olympian will be an x windsurfer, there's a couple at the worlds currently, think it was the danish rs:x sailor - doing pretty damn well too.

Pretty sure I've driven to that spot to kite once but there was no wind.

Look to be fair I did feel for the bloke, it was also a sunny Sunday arvo and it was time for a beer. It was a co-incidence that both events occurred almost simultaneously. I repeat that these events were independent of one another

Those power lines were very close to the kite. I wish they would put them under ground so events like this did not cause to much grief and more importantly my view was improved

Hey CC - its a very popular spot for the kiters and windsurfers whenever we get a howling SW to SE wind. They love it. Let me know if you are ever in the area - you can stop in for a cold beer after your water time. Maybe even throw some lamb on the BBQ.
