Yep its gonna be awesome got the same forcast here too winds crankin now same for the next 4 days good groundswell ,will be shattered by the end of the week
We kited 51 knots in Perth 2 weeks ago. The swell however was tiny compared to 6m.
Go hard boys. Have a blast.
PS. If it gets past 40 knots hold on!/ oh and get the misses to take pics.
How'd you go today Plum,we had 15-35 wsw gusty as but 4-5m swells was a blast on the 9m ,hangin on at times in the gusts but an awesome 3 hour session,one of the guys got his spankin new kite shredded surf was fierce cant wait for tomorrow
i missed the window got there too late and the wind was too wholey... bugger.
but theres several days more of this wind so i'll get a ride in.
Was one of the latest Plynn Fury 7m ,5m swell dumped straight on top of him and the kite went down between two Huge swells while he was being tumbled ,waves were strong as prob moving at 15+ Knots kite got pummelled by about 10 huge breakers before he got untangled and released ,was a bit unlucky.
He was having a ripper session prior to that.
wishin i was there guys. Beginning to think it might be worth shifting sides of the ditch
Need to get that mutant built plum ,was out on the cardboards wave today was majic,got some awesome toeside's and was quick as when you had to bail on some breaking monsters,saved me a few times.
Mutant build has started!. The press is underway. So... maybe 1 month. I still have to finish the boys longboard skate board for his birthday early july so that takes priority.
well i can ride a wave with only marginal power on the TT. infact in some light wind days i use the wave aparent speed to power the kite up and get back upwind.
so yes is the answer. You only need kite power when running out of speed on the wave face. if you keep the speed up the kite is there for the ride.
yeha grandma!.
25-40 knots of cross on goodness..,.... .. . . . . . Took the afternoon off and it was well worth it!
waves from tiddlers to tripple head. Rode a few monsters but mainly limited myself for fear of death to double head or smaller. ......
arrrrg.
3 in a row for me mate,had a sweet 2 hour session today and got eaten by a 3-4m caining monster a k offshore,rolled me up and spat me out,15-20 sec under ,managed to punch out to save the kite long swim in,my mate didnt fair as well his cat went off like a shotgun when the leading edge got pummeled the kite repair guys must love us
Its been going off at Pekapeka big groundswell real west though so gusty as but surfs been too good to miss.
Monday was the biggest gusty onshore has smashed it down but you can still find some big walls way out back.
Supposed to be up again tomorrow
Near Wellies? Yeah heard there has been massive winds there! Always thought you guys must be up in Aucks tackling Muriwai or something! Crazy, I would be avoiding that place when there is big swell and crazy winds!
I'm in the naki Chris. I presume your in wellingtron?
I was at fitzroy/eastend today in new plymouth
Nah up here in Aucks! Had a session on the west coast a few weeks ago, even though the surf was only up to approx double overhead, it was too much! So dumpy, and the rips up here on the west coast are like nothing I had ever seen till I moved here last year!
Sounds like the Naki is the bomb! Hopefully gonna lock in a summer roadie and come do some surfing and kitesurfing
yeah i've done some double head muriwai dumpers!. nasty indeed. you don't want to get washing machined in those.
The naki has the best waves i have ridden. it is a world class spot. Time your roady for a strong westerly and yourl be bound to get some decent waves.
