Was out for a short run on the beach today with a 8-10knot SE and was good to get a blast in after such a long time. And i was the only one were have all the kiters gone. Only Matt came down as i was packing up come on guys dust off that kit and blast away those winter blues. I'll be there back down tomorrow if the forecasted NE picks up hope to see some of you guys back down at the beach real soon.

I did get out myself but as i told you i went and set up down south... wish i hadn't as south beach was covered in crap sticks and weed and things...

But also looking forward to getting out with everyone again... has been far too long

Im now rocking around on a bright orange cabrinha nomad water kite... so look for me on the mountain board and say hi!!!

Think i might set up a new summer thread for this year seen as people are beginning to get out riding again.

I saw you guys flying, but I played golf this morning and didn't pack the kites to play with after.

So from now on I'll be packing golf and kite equipment when I go out on sundays, you'll see me there for sure if there's any kind of breeze and beach

Was a pretty good afternoon the wind was a little more fickle today than yesterday and coming from that SE angle made it tough going up wind. Rodrigo got back into the buggy for the first time since he broke his leg back in December last year. Nate came down for a buggy to and few other randoms with kites to was a good day and some great weather as well.

Well looks like the wind gods have heard our prayer in chch, its predicted NE tomorrow and low tide is at 11:00 am, so weather and wind dependant i'll be there around low tide at north beach surf club, hope to see the rest of the chch crew there as well.

I'll be there, Emma said she'd like to get out.

Gotta get up and make pancakes though.

Will you be at north or south beach?

Hope to see you there

Was a good afternoon, could have done with a few more knots as i was sort of in between kites, to much for the 6.8m viper and not enough for the 4.7m Rage
