Anyone feel like tunin me in on the key spots to check out? I just got in from California, and am gonna be here for a year. now i just need some buddies to let me in on where to go. came equipped with my entire set up (12m and 8m cautions) and want to make some buddies.
Seems like you're all a little combative on the forums, but if anyone wants to help me out, just write back. Thanks!

nah i think most've it is our strange kiwi humour mixed with boredom
harbour boosting, sideways buggying, harwood speed gps'ing, sometime kiteskiing, wave/washing machine kiting, gear breaking, driving about chasing the wind....

Hi ldon_kitesc

Were you kiting down at the mount just before Christmas?
I was out kiting with a guy from California.. I think he was ridding Caution kites. I was out riding on a slingshot 17 m...
Same day a big storm came through and we had to race for cover..

This picture was taken on the same day..

I am heading down to the Mount this weekend..



A stupid man's report of what a clever man says is never accurate because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

yeah kitebeaches.com has about 25 NZ beaches on it... 20 of them are auckland spots. As for being combative on the forums. Yeah we love scrappin it out and lettin off steam... especially at this time of year when there usually isn't much wind at the main spots (the main spots in auckland that is). This time round it's been pretty good though and we have been relatively well behaved as a result. If you think we are combative at the mo... you should see what we were like this time last year :twisted:

mmmm must be Osama BK keepin us all in line.
eastern beach hates my guts because i did a big crap in my wetsuit whilst out there kiting 6 years ago. That's why i'm the most unpopular kiter in NZ. Beast from da east reprazent mutha f#$$%@ers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
