here's a short video I made yesterday in Pallarenda (Townsville, North QLD): just enough wind for using the raceboards!
I know, racing is not as cool to watch as freestyle or surfing, but at least it got us out on the water, and we were the only ones out there :0)
I hope you enjoy...?

Hi there,
We were kiting from~2PM until ~5PM
Here's what the airport wind reading were saying:
NE 9knots (gusting11knots) @ 5pm
ENE 12knots (gusting15knots) @ 4pm
ENE 12knots (gusting 16knots) @ 3pm
NE 13knots (gusting16knots) @ 2pm
(Source: weatherzone.com.au, Townsville Airport observations)

On my personal estimation :0) it felt like the wind was sitting between 10&15, definitely under 15, and we stopped around 5PM when the wind really started to fall under 10knots.
