you guys still alive down there? or have you gone into hibernation like bears or something?

Zenon. regail us with your tripical kiting adventure. was it glorious?

hibernation I think

have you seen how cold it is down there

maybe they've all out snowkiting and don't have time to chat

We are still alive but only just..

its been terrible there have been.. well how can i say this.. its been terrible... there have been bad winds... and wrong tides.. O the humanity...

But alas there will be some snowkiting going on... Cant wait till i have just a little spare time to do it..

Myself i have been super busy with polytech work.. And i havent been to Fiji just yet Plummet.. Heading there on the 30th. Cant wait. WIll be just the break that i need.

Yeah I'm still here, been real busy.
Currently on my teaching course, and with the crappy winds, only been out in some low wind gustyness.
I might give hallswell quarry a crack, the wetlands area there is defo big enough, and with the crap winds at the beach it can't be any worse.

got lofted about 4meters the other week I was down there, quite fun but heading towards the sea like that ain't so fun

i hear what your saying. i've had sweet fa good wind in the last couple of months. i've had a tone of SE winds. which are offshore and gusty as hell. so crappy i refuse to fly in those conditions.
even the onshore winds are henious. the last session fluctuated from 14 to 33 knots....

I've forgotten what wind is...

It better come back soon or I will have forgotten how to kite...!!

The weather has been the main limiting factor but i've also been building this

this picture is the bike 99% finished and i finished it on friday, but now have a stinking cold so can't ride it bummer. Winter can be a real downer and I hate been sick

Also been out mountain biking quiet a bit with Nate. If anyone else is keen we go out on a tues night round bottle lake and up the hill at the weekends weather permitting so if your keen PM me.

Though i am sick this weekend have a head cold so not feeling to flash at the mo and my car went to the wreaker yesterday so on the look out for another and that takes time. It is that time of year were you have the time to give your kit a good going over and some repairs. I need to pull out the bearings on my buggy and repack them with grease in the hope it will be a little quiter as you can hear me coming from a kilometer away. Also need to patch my reactor as well as i put some more holes in it again and its turning into one of those kites that just gets nailed all the time.

Anyway been itching to get out and think a trip to birdlings is in order where the blokarts go, but never seems to be the right weather either no wind and fine or gusty southerly with rain.

Hmmm i am actually quite tempted by the rides through bottle lake at night with nate and yourself... But i dont actually have any lights for my bike and havent been on the bike in ages so id probably end up way behind or something... Might get in touch at some point...

Cant wait till summer when i can re acquaint myself with brighton beach.. Until then here is what us living in dunedin have been up to... (photos of craig from the second mission today will be added shortly

I love the snowmen!! Though i thought there would have been more snow, just looks like a dusting.

you guys a talking my languge. i am a mountain biker and mtb every sunday and tuesday night. made my own super powerfull led lights. have hit up some dh tracks doing 5m gap jumps at night now thats intense....... ooh yeah ,.,. fun.

5m gaps in the dark i wouldn't even atempt them in day light. I just ride with a 20w IRC halogen powered by a brick SLA battery, which is also very good for night kiting and lighting up single light show kites at the nelson kite festival back in Jan.

This is the best pic i could get its the sunmoon one of the peter lynn show kites
