Auckland is supposed to be quite good to kitesurf in september.

There are several spot depending on teh wind direction : muriwai for westerlies, orewa for estaerlies. But you will probably get some Westerly wind most likely.

Sepetember is the end of the winter so it's not so hot ...

no need to pm me. i'm allready here. auckland's not bad during september. there shouldn't be any shortage of wind and as Taz pointed out, yes it is mostly westerly and during spring the westerlies can get very strong. you will definately need a small kite that's for sure. as for beaches. muriwai is the main westerly wave spot. there are numerous secret spots for flat water. the well known flat water spots in westerly winds are far too gusty when the winds exceed 30 knots, but will be ok if the odd lighter day occurs. definately talk to locals as auckland's not an easy place to kite. fortunately september is an easy time to kite in auckland and if you don't mind waves than you'll be sussed. pm me if you wanna know some flat water spots as the best beaches are secret. 95% of the auckland kiters don't know any of the best auckland flat water spots.

as for temp etc. it's not that warm at that time of year, how cold it feels will obviously depend on where in OZ you are from.

the guy has posted over 2000 times on that site!

good to see he still rates himself as the virtual custodian of auckland's secret flat water spots.

DREAM ON BLOWNAWAY! reach for your dreams in life and love and you will always be a winner. don't let the bastards grind you down!

and still a regular here it seems...guess the guess etc

check this out from his own web pages

Feb has been a very quiet month for me kitewise. Less than 10 sessions. Other things have taken over, like work etc. However i did still get out and have a few good sessions. My kiting is fully winding down and i don't think i tried anything new at all. i'm going very backtobasics and oldschool and will continue down this path for quite a while. i've quit the "skills race" but instead have a desire to try stuff different and to go on trips and different beaches that may be a bit outoftheway when i was trying to get good as fast as possible. The conditions during the latter part of the month have been superb. Windy is a good description. Mostly strong SW winds and west winds, uncommon at this time of year but at the end there we managed to get a tropicial NE system with rain and 40 knot winds to keep us happy for a few days, just so those "Orewa Junkies" can quit complainin about the lack of Easterlies.... i think they are all smiling again! Earlier on it was pretty light Feb conditions with sultry conditions and 10-20 knot winds... location dependant of course. On the forums I've done a bit of posting but no where near as much as during Jan.. when my antics got me banned from kiteforum.co.nz. I have posted on kiteforum.co.nz but as bogus users. I've also had some fun on kiteforum.com especially teamin up with Tim (aklbob) in mocking the valentines day thread as well as posting some stupid ideas in regards to a crazy suggestion of kitelooping on snow. As usual i've been quiet on anabatic but as far as meaningful kiting content is concerned this forum is tonnes better than kiteforum.co.nz. It seem that we have two different forums that are poppin up. anabatic's forum is for meaningful kiting discussion whereas kiteforum.co.nz is turning into a flamers paradise.. which is great as it keeps the stirrers out of anabatic... nothing wrong with some mud slingin every now and then. Speakin of mud slinging.. wasn't Waitangi day great... to be honest it's the political version of kiteforum.co.nz.. heaps of bitchin and flamin but nothing meaningfull... just pure entertainment. Seems that Waitangi Day is the flamin day whereeas ANZAC day is when we REALLY celabrate being New Zealanders, good move in my books.

and more

This time round summer was pretty good windwise. The NE sea breezes featured strongly this time round and gave many a good big kite day at the right spots... especially during January. Unfortunately the West coast didn't deliver like last summer... the thermals there just weren't happening that much... Tamaki doctors were rare and usually only occured with help from a light isobaric SW... whereas last summer they arrived with all guns blazing on occasions. That was a pity as i was hoping to sample some more Huia but didn't go there once during the summer. Dec and Jan were pretty typicial of those months... Jan being pretty thermal and Dec still having good isobaric winds.. however Feb was a game of 2 halves with big kite conditions for the first part and springlike conditions (small kites) for the second part... ended with a tropicial NE system apart from a strong SW on the last day.

Work once again got in the way but in general as the season wore on i got less and less interested in kiting due to work and injury. After my victory over THING III which was the bain of the 03 spring for me the big turning point was my freakish shoulder injury in early Jan... this made me totally rethink my strategy towards kiting and by the end of the month i had an unreserved hatred for kitesurfing in general. The first time i ever had issues with other kiters... these guys ARE assholes after all... this prompted me to start up my own forum describing secret spots etc and throwin up all sorts of security on my websites. a lot happened during January including me being banned from kiteforum.co.nz and me and Lance goin at it tooth and nail and fully ensuring that any friendship that existed between us two is now well and truly history!

well done guest. now would you mind telling us what the bastards web site address is? i want to see ALL that he has to say. this guy is full of some serious shit. and it scares me to think that by some insane coincidence i may have kited on the same beach as him at any one point in time. and i'm still alive!

i have some interesting questions to ask.

i'm interested to hear how anyone came to the conclusion that blownaway was posting as guess the guest. either this guys a skitz or he's really tryin to fuck us up if that is the case.

secondly: is he really back on this forum? didn't he get banned? was it temporary or was it permanent? shaun must have been really pissed off with BA to ban the guy.

thirdly: in regards to his web comments, what the fuck is "thing III" ? who is this guy? some looney? where are the funny farms when we need them? this psychos running wild man! please save us kingseat! blownaway would be great there. it's right beside his stupid harbour!

forthly: what the hell are all these secret spots he's on about? doesn't auckland have enough beaches allready without his little dreamed up imaginary hideaways.

fifthly: he's staing that 95% of auckland's kiters don't know the best spots to kite. ha i never see him at shoal bay, pt chev, orewa, takapuna, meola reef, muriwai, shakers and mission bay. looks like HE is the only one who doesn't know where to kite!

i say we all join in the mockeries of this crazy son of a bitch cos this guy should not be kitesurfing. infact i really doubt he ever actually does kite. he spends too much time on the forums whining!

hey i've just read BA's ramblings again! from what he says he IS back on this site. posting as bogus users. ok then which bogus users is he posting as? what are the names? and how many is he using?

to blownaway: i dare you to show yourself dude, and where the hell are these secret spots?! they don't exist do they?

Ha ha!! suckers!! you should have kept your findings to yourself "guest". You're right.. I AM back on kiteforum.co.nz. No chance at all of finding any more imfo of mine. It's all gone, kaput. This is all that remains.

However i am however gonna treat you guys to my discourse: here it is.....

GUEST: You take on many forms... you have copied parts of my website and pasted them asis on another website... mmmm that's pirating pal, pity i don't have a copyright logo at the bottom of the page cos i could take your faceless ass to court! Just kidding dude I'm glad you did it.. that's what i want!! HaHa!! Now let's see you find the rest of my site.. good luck.

SHAUN SOUL SURFER: Temporary ban? i'm still banned dude. HaHa but your guile is charming and i like that. anything to please the subjects eh? good boy. "DREAM ON BLOWN AWAY"... yes dreaming is something i do lot's of. i'm not a doer, I'm a dreamer as you mite allready have figured. Secret spots? What secret spots? These places have been there since the beginning of time, just like the "soon to be banned" spots that you guys so love. The trademark auckland beaches.... that give auckland it's gusty reputation.

KITEPOLICE: And whoever is part of this little faction. So your now on a trip. Does that mean i won't be able to hear any entertaining whining until October? BoooooHooooo..... i'm very sad. Ah well if you have any brains you'll stay in your kiting meccas.. and leave us alone.. 'guess the guest' this is directed at you as you really had an issue with kiting here... mmmmm someone isn't good enough to handle auckland's wind.. oh pity.

DISINCARNATE: Charming character.. the first post you do you allmost sound like you are stickin up for me. Then you stab me in the back, like everyone else... haha used to it dude... oh poor baby you demostrate your stupidity by slagin the manukau harbour and then you post a topic enquiring about the best flat water west facing spot in auckland... i allmost fell off my chair man laughing!!! You are pathetic. you don't know any!!! My sides are splittin dude!! Drugs??? What drugs???? I don't need drugs!!! I'm crazy enough to not require the use of drugs to go nuts...

WESTIE: You have allready demonstrated a higher level of interlect than the common kiteforum.co.nz scum. Let us feast upon the banquet of plenty while the poor will lick our feet and kiss our asses in order to get the crumbs!

nice to see you're still alive. no-one else could be faking that diatribe.

i couldn't help noticing your botched spelling of intellect - i know most people couldn't give a rat's ass but it is a bad look when talking yourself up as some kind of intellectual giant amongst morons.

i think you may need drugs but possibly not the recreational kind.

i will ignore your guile word (i had to look that one up in the dictionary) and thank you for your civil discourse.

you acknowledge you are a dreamer - well i am a doer - maybe that's why we piss each other off. i've never really dealt with too many dreamers, but i have a lot of experience with talkers and thinkers, as well as lots of other doers. we're a fun bunch because we really get things done - all sorts of wild and profitable conquests i can assure you, especially when we get together and compete with feats of daring and on and on yada yada.

anyway for a dreamer, you're a hell of a prolific writer and i do admire that in a man, even if he's from planet smack and makes as much sense as michael jackson - another dreamer i'll wager.

it's a male? i thought he was asexual. he's single too, no surprises there. i doubt any self respecting chic would ever want to associate with a nutter like BA. ya know i allready miss the kitepolice. hope they are enjoying themselves in DR. mmm could be fun if blownaway ever joins the kitepolice. don't see it happening though.

hey guys where are you finding this stuff about our most despised ex member? i would love to know. any more dirt to be digged up?

groups.yahoo.com/group/ksurfing/

If you have a yahoo account you could become a member.
That is if BW will accept your request.

Blown Away= Guess the Guest = Disincarnate = Poleboarder (possibly)

Content changes, but the same aggressive, antagonistic rambling in all these crazy characters,

plus they all have the distinct liking of replying to themselves, and posting 3 or 4 times in a row... :?:

yeah nice try guest. but no cigar. there is more than one fucked up, munted aggro individual on the face of planet earth so it doesn't mean that one person is responsable for every single bit of crap posted on this forum. there are 3 main entities here. kitepolice, myself and blownaway.

i agree with your assumptions only in regards that the kitepolice are all the work of one person. or at least if several people are involved then they seem to know each other. yes they all seem to post at once, initially violently dissagree on stuff, then suddenly agree.

another matter to consider when trying to tie me in with the kitepolice is that we haven't heard from the kitepolice for nearly a week now, whereas i'm still posting on a regular basis. i'm assuming that they've gone on their holiday and hopefully won't be back for ages. i am not the kitepolice or are a member of that group. i do agree on some of their issues though especially in regards to blownaway. but i totally dissagree on other issues. like guess the guest's fullon flamin of auckland and new zealand kiteboarding. i don't know where he's from but hopefully he never comes back here!

Sorry guys I have just got back from therapy and my councilor has incouraged me to come clean
I am Mark Tucker, blownaway, guest the guest and all his alias's. there is no holiday but I am getting help. Cant promise that I won't keep posting here under all manner of personalities here though

now i'm really confused! mark tucker - whoever the hell you are - you're as mad as five possums with their tails tied together.

get a life, get help, try: www.fruitloopsanonymous.co.nz but whatever you do - try and relax and leave us alone, unless you have something rational to say like: sorry guys i've made a complete ass of myself and i even made up all that stuff about i'mapotato road.

we all know blownaway is an imposter. the guy has a fucked up attitude, he can't kite for shit and he still thinks that auckland is a great place to kite. blownaway still persists in signin the praises of the manukau harbour which is full of stinky slop most of the time. i've kited at imapotato rd more often than blownaway has! he doesn't know what he's talkin about. he doesn't know any of the spots that work in auckland. i origionally kited at the same spots he kites at. i know his crew, i know the crew out that way, i used to kite with guys like aklbob and blownaway. alkbob's a great guy, he's tonnes better than blownaway who is a just an arrogant prick. he spends far too much time stuffin burgers and bitchin on forums and not enough time kiting, his attitude needs a total overhaul. he is the most horrible person that i've ever met in my life. sorry i have to chip in like this as i'm having the time of my life here in Perth, the conditions here are unreal, since i've been here there has not been one day where the wind has been under 20 knots, and i've been here over a month now, i'm gonna say it guys but perth leaves auckland behind man. the spots here are tonnes better, unreal, do yourself a favour and come over when you have the chance, you will never want to leave.

as for blownaway. sort out your attitude man! you've been flamin me on this forum, you've been flaming me on your website, you've been flaming me on aklbobs forum, what is your fucken problem!

Shaan, Can you do something to block this freak from this forum? Can you trace his ISP or something. He is starting to become a real problem. And when he starts taking on my Identity and spouting shit, then I get mad.

Mark- Dickhead, If you have to impersonate me, then get your facts straight, friends of mine and people who count know that I am not in Perth, but still in SA, I don't flame anyone, I don't want conflict, I haven't posted on this forum for ages, but I've been keeping an eye on it, because frankly, I can't believe the crazy shit that is coming out.

Listen to this, You are single-handedly ruining this forum. You and all your skitso identities, name impersonations etc. You have lost the plot, this forum is about kiting, and you are dragging it down to Jerry Springer Level.

I'm sure no-one would disagree with me if I asked you to F-off and leave this forum to people who really want to exchange kiting info.

You have made it so that I am scared to post for fear of an abusive personal attack from you, and other users are signing off and giving up checking this site because its lost all relevance- because of fuckwits like you.

Aren't there other forums you can go and harass? Like political forums, or some other subject that talks in circles and gets nowhere.


Anyway......(deep breath)

on a lighter note, howzit to all Auckland kiters, missing you guys and all the beach sessions that I've missed out on lately,

Cheers

Lance Gelden

Yo lance, good to hear you are doing ok. There's been a fair bit of wind around but the 16 metre is making a few more appearances than was the case in Jan/Feb. Raglan has been getting a few workouts when the conditions are looking good - that place is probably the best I've been to when the tide and wind play the game.

I concur with your comments on that multi-personality twat - I know of a few kiters who don't check this forum much anymore because of the drivel that emerges from his keyboard. Will give him a piece of my mind if I ever see that loser on the beach (unlikely I know).

laters
Brad

ah yes i knew my shit spelling would get the better of me one day. All is revealed this is the REAL blownaway here. I have not yet personally confessed to my alias crimes on this forum. The "confession" from disincarnate was from someone else using that name. But as you guys have come to the conclusion that it was me all along i'm gonna come clean.. but heck it was fun haha. it was worth it.

due to some security issues with my computer I'm unable to log in currently but plan on using the registered name mtuckster.. unless of course Shaun shows me the door again.

Lance it's amazing what a few months makes dude. When i first knew you we were best of mates but one misdirected comment and then me taking it personally and it's osama vs bush all over again. ah well friendships die hard aye dude. sorry bout the perth thing. I heard it from someone else and considering you liked it there i sorta though it was true. let's hope it isn't because i'm off to perth within the next couple of years and will probably end up living there. i know all you guys will miss me.... NOT!!! in the meantime brad has about 2 years to "give me a piece of his mind" and as i'll be extremely busy in that time i won't be kiting often so yes brad it will be unlikely.

so yes i'm back, no guess the guest, no gw poley and no disincarnate. just mtuckster. interesting thing to note.. I also go by the name Mark T. I also used to use that in my blownaway days. i wanted to use that name again but the banning mechanism won't let me.

on a lighter note this autumn wind seems to be keeping everyone happy. the flaming on this forum has suddenly become non existant.

actually guest i only plan on using one name so people like you can't pretend to post as me like you've done above. disincarnate by the way is a username that i have used on tobys kiteforum about 3 times (compared to over 2000 as blownaway). it's a genuine username there, ie not a guest name. oh and don't gat any ideas... i not gonna register as disincarnate on this forum so anyone who does so to frame me is not gonna be successful. shaun can find out by using the cookies we so gladly give him every time we enter this most wonderful of forums.

Hey fudge are you multipersonality? Multiple usernames? Good on ya man... did the same thing at kiteforum.co.nz, got offside with 90% of Auckland's kiters.. and don't regret it one bit

wake up people
mark tucker - blownaway - etc are all Shaan Miller
he needs the traffic
not hard to work out

now there's a real rocket scientist for you...

wilfully ignorant people never cease to amaze me. if 'guest' is a kiter, then we are all in a whole lot of trouble on crowded days. i bet the tired old geek can't even tie his sholeaces, let alone his kite lines, and he probably thinks he's the easter bunny and the purpose of kiting is to make contact with random strangers and play synchronised body drags up the beach.

guest: i've been called a lot of bizarre names in my time and have been accused of masterminding scams from kathmandu to the bluff, but never has anyone slithered so low as to call me old hairy legs himself, BLOWNAWAY!

get a grip on yourself!

p.s. with tweakheads like you loose on the information superhighway, i need the traffic like i need a drive-by shooting.

quit whoring around and get back to your tiddlywinks.

As always your over reaction speaks volumes -
Shaan you consider yourself gods gift to kiting but in fact you do as you have lalways done - get out of it what you can for yourself and poke shit at anyone who does not agree with your crap
you come on as the da spy and a host of other bllshit to build up and support your opions - you are pathetic mate - you can't kite for crap - but you can talk it up!!!!!, second bst kiter in auckland - christ mate where the hell have you been!!!!! your long winded wank offs about how great you are and how you did this and did that - your name dropping about who you have been away kiting with - the list goes on - do everyone a bg favour and go kiting - on your own - as you do - stay off the forum - it is a better place without you - if you look back over this forum read what folks write about you mate = get the message - your not popular and everyone thinks you are a joke.

Sounds like 'guest' is the one with the problem, and I'm pretty sure Shaan is not 'da spy'.

Chill dudes. Find yourselves something better to do , like drive to Ruakaka on the strength of a Buoyweather.com forecast only to discover zero-gusting-one-knot, and have lunch at a cafe in Whangarei where the BLT sandwich was pretty average and I found some of the kitchen cleaning cloth in amongst the lettuce. Gorgeous day though.

sounds good brad...

i had a couple of good sesh's myself on saturday running around with gavin like the good old days (and 100 others).

how much of a gripper is our esteemed guest? there's a bunch of people on here (including brad) who know mark tucker personally and who 'da spy' is (including me). as if i'd flame my own forum with their unintelligible vomit. they may be wreckers, haters, p-freaks and born lunatics but they are both a hell of a lot smarter than 'guest' - an illiterate monosyllabalic spastic with a stick up his snatch plus delusional fantasies / conspiracy theories for africa. forgive me all for being so polite and not saying what i really mean - my mum always taught me to be kind to retards and dumb animals so i have held back in this case.

guest: what makes you think anyone is interested in your accusations, and troublemaking, or has the time to decipher your crucifixion of the english language? i'd wager you yourself have caused aggro here before with some similarly unimaginative handles - you're like a tired old geek limping back into the fight asking for another beating.

try learning some shit. until then you are a very unwelcome 'guest'.

night y'all - i hope everyone else got the goods on the weekend!
