Good to see the article in the Herald of the newy lads charging the big ugly southerly that blew in yesterday at Dickson Park. Solid swell, wind and rain squalls.
How come Shannon's is the only picture?? Legend.

The front 6" of most kite boards is not required anyway, just glass it up she'll be right.

Thanks for your help and offers of help a few times shannon, much appreciated.

Yeah, little bummed bout the board, but could have ended much worse, I did my best to destroy my kite, but somehow she survived.

You deserved the shot mate, you were the man on the (heavy) day.

yeh I had a good sesh a bit north of blackies yesterday, I'm guessing it was more protected than dicko but still had some solid sets coming in. Had been a while since I had the 7m out and squally conditions, looking forward to a consistent sea breeze!
