I would move there .What has happened to the once benign climate of Newcastle ? Now it's Blistering hot one minute ,freezing the next (just like Melbourne) .That's if you didn't enjoy the previous 2 weeks serving of NTH Qld and Dawinian weather of opressively muggy and regular storms and torrential rain. To top it all off either no wind or getting smashed by 35 kts with one
NE wind every 2 weeks ![]()
Lach, I've been reviewing your latest posts. You report you don't want to live in a sauna, el nino is doing your head in, the weather is making you think of wearing polo neck black sweaters and reading the sundays at a cafe with a cappa.
Mate, is there more to this disgruntlement than just the lack of kiting? If so, please pm me mate because I believe Newcastle/Lake Macquarie is some of the best living in the world.
How good was that SSW 4-6 foot session we had at Dicko a few weeks ago?
I was out there a few days later and tacked up to Leggie.
C'mon mate, I always saw you as a glass half full kinda guy.
Next Nor Easter, we'll get the boys (Phil, Brodie, Jack, Chris, Rick, Webbie, Macka, John, Warwick, Col etc etc etc.) together for a downwinder, Nobbies to Hams, that ought to cheer you up for christmas eh?
You're right John, Lach you have been a sour pus lately. Forget the la nini el watsit & just make use of any opportunity. While you were pouring your heart out on this forum I was alone at Dixon from 6pm til nearly 8 in epic 25 knot SSW. Get your mind back on the game!
& my glass is feelin' pretty full

I've been pondering a hypothetical situation where kiter 1 is on a wave carving it up down the line, blissfully unaware that there is a kiter surfing the wave behind him.
Kiter 2 is surfing the wave behind another guy, kiter 1, for arguement sake. Allegedly kiter 2 is going through menopause & is convinced he's going to collide with kiter 1.
So, what is the outcome?
Ok so no one understands my warped sense of humour trying to make light of this strange weather .Never mind I'll keep it to myself from now on ,laugh at my own jokes and go insane .(oops sorry i already am insane)
glad you had a good sesh Col the rest us have obviously given up hoisted the white flag and have moved on to other things![]()

Do you guys ever wish you were a duck?

Having just braved the Sydney traffic and spent an hour and a half in a cab, I can safely say that nothing could convince me to move to sydney permanently. i'd rather drink petrol and piss on a fire.
Well us up in ****ty old Brisbane have been putting up with 30+ degrees and solid 20 to 25+ knots of NE every day for the last couple of weeks. Dam this ****ty weather![]()
Lach, if you didn't get on the water and your cup didn't overflow today, I'm coming around to get all your gear because you ain't no kiter.
