I'm up for a work do and might have a couple of hours to sneak out mid day wish while the missis goes on a shopping frenzy.

Forecast is looking pretty sad. 5-8 knots easterly... is the sea brease kicking in and pushing wind higher than that?

whats the best location. i consider land or water but i double there'l be enough for water.

any one keen for a light wind session?

15m manta will get me skidding around from 4-5 knots.

I'm gagging at the mouth and frothing on the bit. There's been no wind all week, not a breath. Sunday and Monday are looking good. Karioitahi always has the most wind on the west. Having said that, Sunday afternoon is looking perfect for Muriwai, I might go to South Head and camp over to catch a two day light wind water session

Hmm, to kitesurf or to landboard? That is the question for a kite addicted junkie.

Butchs demo day will crank!!! yourve got nothing to loose!! apart from some petrol money.

I've had 2 sessions this week. light wind 15m manta session where i jumped a stream and did my first land back rolls and a 25knot session down the coast at tai road. man thats a hard core spot. heavy waves and only thin slither of beach to launch on. if you stuff up in the waves downwind is rocks and cliff. the waves are big man eating themir braking kite tearing waves.

its not uncommon for the wind to be 5-10 knots more than forecast in foxton!!! expect sunday to be insane!!....

at a geuss it would be a 7 hour drive. i have never had the need to drive auckland/foxton.
