Just had a couple of yachties tell me that there wind meter measured 72 knots today....

Bring on the 6m!

where you heading? meola was looking pretty good about 5 minutes ago, maybe shoal later. Muriwai was good last night but it might be a little windier today. Think I'll be banning Charlotte and repossessing my 7m Link

yeah well i just headed out on the 6 switchy at kohi..... i swear i thought i was going to die!!! haha

I was okk for 2 runs geting prity over powered. the bar was right up through the stopa ball in over ride mode... did a few "resnable" jumps haha then turnd in to the beach, so i lookd over mi shoulder and just about died there was a complete white wind line heading for me, it hit me and mi bar was through the over ride bal at the top and i was absolutly getting spanked. couldnt even throw mi self backwards in to the water to slow down.
dad was sitting in the car working and i was yeling and screeming at him to come and grab mi kite as i was picking up heeepz of speed, i was just about to ditch mi kite but luckily he figured out that mi waving and yelling ment i was in trouble and so he ran down and got the kite.

it was the scarest moment of mi life!!!!!!

now i know that if i want to go out in freken gail force winds to get a smaller kite

I think THRASHER/BLOWNAWAY puts it best:

"Young, dumb and full of cum"

What's your excuse Gav?

hahah cheeers ahahhaah

nice one M8

Another quote from USAF fighter-pilots on how to qualify for flying jets:

"Balls the size of grapefruit and a brain the size of a pea"

haha

West coast had 15ft swell + around 30+knots
Sick just to watch
Over-powered on my 9m - was my first non-underpowered kite at murawai.

uuuhhh banning me!! uuhh kite repossession!!! uuuhhh noooo :shock:

no excuses needed Philf, I didn't even go to the beach

Think everyone was hoping a bit TOO hard for wind in the last week of daylight savings...that was nuclear!
