Those first 2 pics are absolutely insane. Had I not been there once I would have to kill you out of sheer jealousy. ![]()
ahaha yeah, they are pretty cool shots. found this one too on my desktop. its a screenshot from a video so its not as clear, still alright
Hello young man, enjoyed meeting ya dad and yourself at sandy bay that day. Bloody good fun isn't it.
Bring your kites but don't stay in town. Last year the week over christmas it was over 45 deg with christmas day over 50 I think in town. Our thermometer on the beach never got over 32. I was on my 13m most of the time yet other years we have been on 10m in the morning and changing to 8m early arvo.
west oz is right though the place is crap
Yeh it's a damn whole above ground, better places further south...Too damn hot, like real farqin hot!
Englishcraig, the first 2 pictures were taken at Sandy bay. Eppo, the surfboard was the only reason i was moving on the water at sandy :P without it i would have been sitting on the beach watching that one other guy like everyone else.
just bought some wind online its due in exmouth on sunday just as we get up there and will last my entire holiday only subsiding during my fishing trips, take advantage and get up there,
Aww hell, I was staying in Coral Bay with the family, we headed up to do some snorkelling in Turquoise bay, and when we pulled in to Sandy Bay for a look see, I saw you guys kiting and almost tore my heart out to stop it aching so much.
Stupidly I had left the kite back in Coral Bay.
Seeing this thread makes me want to rip out my heart again.
The conditions there were so awesome.
Ironman, going by your kites, are you the same guys I saw kiting in Denham a few days later?
Having a couple of young kids and a wife who doesn't kite makes it damn hard at times.
So jealous of you guys.
Cheers eppo, will keep it in mind for next time ![]()
If I had my kite with me I definitely would have got it out and joined you guys.
Would have been good to hook up in a relaxed situation like that and get me and the wife to meet a few of the kiting fraternity.
I try to have a bit of a yarn at times when I get out to pinnas, but most of the time the pressure is on to get decent sesh in after work, leaving little time for socializing.
Nah that wasn't us at Denham Oceanfire...We have kited there before but we didn't go there this time. Eppo that board was heaps good. Dad did say when he came in he was bouncing around on it but i found it fine. Probably because im used to front foot preasure on my surfboard but it cuts upwind real fast!
My message thing isn't working at the moment but how did that downwinder end up going Eppo? Was there better wave spots up further or was graveyards the place to be?
If I told you Turtle hunter would have to kill you young man. ....yes there was a few spots, next year lets do it together!!
