Sorry to all you folk on the east coast... qld is having enough rain to fill perths dams, pkra a no-result .. but meanwhile in WA, it's nuts.
Finally a wicked run of windy windy windy weather .. wed/thu/fri .. 25 knots+, sat/sun, 20, then yesterday, today and onwards .. looking at more 25+.
Yesterday we organised a downwinder, 2 quickly turned into 3, turned into 4 and we're off in the troopie to the start.
Plenty of excitement in the car .. I'd be down the beach at the end point, and the beach was like world war III .. deserted beach and sand streaming everwhere. Already one guy out doing huge boosts.
We pile out at of the car, and make it down the beach. It's so windy, the sand is nuts .. streaming sideways, instantly burying your board and bar.
The waves are looking awesome .. sure, it's beach break stuff, but with the strong breeze, it sets up some wicked walls, and we're all gagging to get out.
Kites are 5.6, 7's & 8.
And for the next hour we're in downwind heaven. Wicked walls, wicked wind, sun, board shorts. Yahoo's and laughs. One guy gets a bit ambitious and kite gets rolled .. back onto the beach to detangle and re-rig.
When we're all back on the beach, it's smiles all round and talk of it being one of the best downwinders to date. So many walls, and no tacking upwind! Bloke on the 8 is not happy as he was overpowered most of the time!
Hardest part is, it's on again today. Lots of oats for brekky...
Somedays, kitesurfing is the soul purpose of living... 
Shot from the gopro... I live to spray buckets! 
Anybody else got some stories?
Great to hear you are back on the water.
Lots of stories out here Loz - just too body weary to tell them.
And here it is 10:00 am and its on again already.
Off for my first sesh of the day. gotta love WA.
Reading that post I swear with every line you are trying to rub it into us folk in the far east 
FYI we do still have downwinders and the last one was a 3hr session only last wednesday arvo
Yew for the down winder! Read my post on the downwinder bus service thread, had a few troubles along the way from city beach to Brighton; kite rolled had to re rig, both board straps screws popped out. Got left with no wind infront of set waves, all in all was a good arvo was the last kiter out of the water about 745 pm, gonna do it all again tonight :)
Where did you do your downwinder and what time?
@Puppet...
Almost match fit, but hey .. there is no session sweeter than the sessions after being kept of the water for a while.
@wdric
haha.. nah, not rubbing it in .. I'm sure our weather will be troughed out soon enuf, and we'll be sitting on beach. 
@Surfy31
We hit the briney about 4:30 at spot up north. Can't say or I'll get lynched. 
There must have been some wicked sessions yesterday, wind & waves were up .. post some photies/yarns... anybody get spanked, kite ripped to shreds?
Awesome shot Laurie!!
Love " kitesurfing is the soul purpose of living" haha
Great post :)
Well WOOPTY DOOOO!
This season may be $hit but when it's on here at home there's no where on earth I whould rather be.
Yes, I have forgotten to do my Christmas shopping, with this constant wind, wind, wind!!!
Whats this thing called "wind" you guys are talking about??????
I cant remember what that stuff is?
I love WA - 20-25kn of pure joy
Dropped my kite many times as one does.
No rips no shreads all well.
Gonna get me some waves down MR after Xmas.
I love WA yeowwwwwwwwwwwww
Wind!!! What wind?? Hasn't been blowing here in weeks. Oh hang on forgot about today, yday, day before, all last week oh and 30 knots later this week. Actually it is a little breezy isnt it.
First time in Freo and kited every day for the past week or two or longer lost track!! Is it always this good??? Today Woodies was epic!!!
PS I´m worried next monday they said it might drop down to only 20knots, can you still kite in that!!!
Yep today was sick, one of those days where it all comes together. A solid 25 knots, 3 mates, a dw'er, beach was quiet, the ability to race sections as fast as you like and seriously smash some lips and stick it even found myself hooting myself today, lol, it was one of those days.
Had what looked like some young euro dude on a twinnie and green Vegas tag along with us from swanny onwards. He was going nuts, smashin lips and boosting some crazy ass air! Was great to watch.
Had a crap day at work today but hit the beach, kite a sick day with good mates, got radical and it's all forgotten. Do it again tomoro.
Today reminded me why I love it here.
Ps. sweet pic, some good lip smackin.
Filthy hangtime this afternoon. Jumped over about 6 boogeyboarders without even looping the kite. At 25 points per boog that's 150 points. Sick.
Dear galahonthebay , i would like to report an abusive, disruptive,selfish,son of a biach profile that is upsetting the whole of the east coast has Buzz lightyear as an avatar and hides behind the false identity of laurie he is on the verge of driveing everyone on the good side of aus insane with jealousy and wind related envy. Can you put a stop to this as a fellow east coaster before the number of bridge jumpers and breakdowns reach epidemic proportions yours sincerly aaaahhhhhrrrrr anonymous p.s just a ban until the wind picks up 25+ over here will do 
I love WA and love Gero more than anywhere on earth...I'm day 6 on the trot kitesurfing...part of me is hoping it will stop, as I can no longer walk, and eveytime I close my eye I see waves waiting to be smashed...
Also, I think I may rapidly be heading for a good telling off at work as i keep cutting days shorter and shorter to get out on the water!!
