First sail of the season out at Hillarys, there were 3 kiters out there. I really can't see this place handling much more than 2/3 Kiters. Is this going to be a problem as the season progresses? I mean are we going to see 10/15 Kiters out there mid-season? If so that place will be virtually unsailable. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens. ![]()
I just thought of something really evil...
50 metres of glass-coated line, attached to your mast tip.
An ultra-stable, single line kite that auto-zeniths very easily, coloured bright orange, with a couple of streamers hanging off it.
Instant exclusion zone!
I've been training the seals, showing them pictures of kiters and beating them with a stick at the same time. They've responded well.
Fortunately I sail south of the river.
Down at Woodies it's common to have 40-60+ kiters, and 8-12 windsurfers.
They stay in their bit we stay in ours, and there are parts we share ![]()
The only problem is when someone new shows up, but they soon learn ![]()
Areas roughly defined as:
Green - Kites
Red - Windsurfers
Orange - Shared (If there's any aggro at Woodies this is where it happens)
Other Woodies highlights:
Thieves at work around the clock.
Deviants hang in the car parks after dark
Snakes etc.
yes, and anywhere not covered by a coloured box is where your car will get smashed up and broken into
the kiters can have woodies, it is not flat enough to be flat and there is no waves
Just superglue a razor edge on the top two meter of your sails luff panel. As you go past you simple cut the lines....Haha.
i have been following this forum a bit and have noticed that you zed like to post places you sail
have you stopped to consider that maybe if you keep posting about these places on a public forum that it may get busier?
also think about the locals who sail there all the time. not just on the weekends but there are people who sail there during the week
its a small place and in my opinion cant really handle more than 8 windsurfers let alone kiters
It is not that bad... just that Woodies (and Crazy Waves, a winter wavesailing spot) is close to a couple of sh!t areas where there is a fairly high percentage of waste of space oxygen thieves who should be shot. Shallow end of the gene pool sorta area, unfortunately close to a beach ![]()
The rest of the metro coastal strip rarely sees car breakins during the day
Oh yeah it was! The development going in (to **** the windsurfing up) is already increasing prices there tho'
Roughly a 3x1 in bad street was $90K 5 years ago and $250K now ... after the prices dropped recently... maybe peaked at $300K a year ago (?)
