Cool,
Like kiting on Mars...
Except there's no water or atmosphere, so no actual kitesurfing !!!
Anyway, moving on...
Hey it's that little italian guy, haha nice one brother! my guess is Collins Avenue or thereabouts in Rose bay, nicely onshore in a southwester....lots of obstacles! but launching area would be pretty ok at low tide?

A. Yes stupid
B. Not stupid
C. Smoking all them bongs & drinking over-moederately combined with city exhaust fumes and toxic food additives will always do more damage than a 1 off ![]()
D. Nice pics to send to NASA - to hang next to the Appollo Moonwalks ![]()
Very cool pictures. If we had not all seen that last week I am sure a lot of us would have been saying the pictures were photoshopped...
Looks like it could definitely be Rose Bay.
So if that is the case:
a) no you were not stupid for kiting in the dustiness
b) yes you were as kiting in Rose Bay is as bad an idea as kiting Bondi Beach
we kitted in the dust storm to when it got here(cairns) on thursday best wind we`ve had all year . made the news too (paper and radio. no pics) when gohard broke his ribs and went to hospital again . dust didn`t tast real nice but wasn`t so bad after a couple of stacks and you washed your lungs out ![]()
