Each saturday (wind allowing) I will be at the beach with heaps of flexi stock for people to test ride. Both land and water if your keen.

Location varies from week to week if you are keen to head out either look for the flexifoil wind banner or shoot me a text to find out where ill be. 027 279 3642

See you all at the beach.

Joe

Will also post location on here before i go each saturday.

Sept 20th
Big day ahead guys! Will and I will be out on the water for this first time this season so looking forwards to that.
Followed by some land action once my legs start to hurt. Im thinking ill hit the mountain board at about 3ish.
Low tide is about 2 i think so i expect to see everyone out rocking in this awesome wind!!!

Location: North beach. Right infront of the sea wall if not to many people. Otherwise slightly to the north. Look for the Flexifoil Flag.

Bring on Summer!

Yeah i'm up for a spin with the Blurr to!!!

It must have been a short one for you on sat before that snow. I would have come down but had to get a warrant on the car then it snowed bummer!!!! Spent the day working on a mini wacko (3/4 dual line delta similar to the psycho) but have run out of materials i.e. 50mm Dacron and 6mm Carbon tube.

I knew you'd be keen.

Yes it was a short one. and a gusty one at that. But i was there till about 1 before heading home then over to get coffee and organize a snow kite trip with a mate. then it snowed. i should have headed inland today to find somewhere to snow kite but didn't think about it...dam.

O well. Keep safe everyone fly hard and STAY IN TOUCH!

heya, should have thought aboot a kite today but ended up going up the airstrip. bet you had the whole beach to yourself you lucky bugger. i'm very up for tomorrow (sun 3rd) if winds working. 11am low tide, but meant to be swest.

will have to find somewhere that works down by birdlings flat for those "wrong way" days. or develope a canopy with a kind of u-bend in it that enables one to travel the oposit direction from the wind :idea: .

or facebook search: the airstrip

Yeah your right i had the whole beach to myself and at low tide that was alot of beach!! The storm meant that the water has eaten the sand. The drainpipes that are normally half covered were above the sand. YOu could see under them.

The Blurr is a really nice kite. Went riding along the base of the sandunes just above the little "cliff" that the water has carved into the sand. Even rode from the beach into the peir carpark around the carpark a few times and back out onto the beach.

Then Skypirate showed up and we rode more. He tried out the blurr and i showed him my carpark adventous...and then the tide ate the beach...

But super low tide is awesome. 0.2m low......but like 3.0m high so watch out....
